TO THE READER. 

AS the Dedication of the English translation of the BIBLE to king James the first of England seems to be wholly unnecessary for 
Jie purposes of edification, and perhaps on some accounts improper to be continued in an American edition, the Editors have substituted a 
short account of the translation of the Old and New Testaments from the original Hebrew and Greek in which they were written. 

To the Jews was first committed the care of the sacred writings, and for many ages they were m a manner confined to that chosen people. 
There was then no need of translations into other languages; yet was the providence of God particularly manifest in their preservation and 
purity. The Jews were so faithful to their important trust, that, when copies of the law or the prophets were transcribed, they observed the 
most scrupulous exactness; they not only diligently compared the one with the other, but even counted the numberof letters in each book, and 
compared and recorded the numbers. 

Th" first translations that were made of the Old Testament were after the Babylonish captivity. They are called the Targums, which 
word in the Chaldean language signifies Translations. They are also often called the Ohaldee Paraphrases; some of them are exact trans- 
lations of different parts of Scripture ; others are properly paraphrases, containing enlargements, explanations and even additions. Several 
of them are yet extant, and they are often mentioned by the ancient fathers of the Christian Church. Some have atfirmed that the five books 
of Moses and that of Joshua were translated into Greek before the days of Alexander the Great. But the most remarkable translation of the 
Old Testament into Greek is called the Septuagint, which, if the opinion of some eminent writers is to be credited, was made in the reign of 
Ptolemy Pbiladelphus, about 260 years before the Christian era. At any rate it is undoubtedly the most ancient that is now extant, and on 
many accounts deserving notice, though not to be put on a level with the Hebrew text, as has been sometimes done. 

The New Testament was originally written in Greek; and no sooner was the gospel spread through the nations than it was found neces- 
sary to translate the inspired Writings for each into its proper tongue. Some translations of the Old Testament, different from the Septua- 
gint, were made into Greek fi-om the year of Christ's birth 128 to 200. It is generally believed that the church of Antioch was favoured 
witii a Syrian traslation of the Bible as early as the year 100. The Ethiopians of Abyssinia have aversion of the Bible, which they ascribe to 
Frumentius, of the fourth century. Chrysostom, who lived in the end of the fourth, and Theodoret, who lived in the middle of the fifth cen- 
tury, both inform us that they had the Syrian, Indian, Persian, Armenian, Ethiopic, and Scythian version. The ancient Egyptians had the 
Scriptures translated into their language. The Georgians have a version in their ancient language. The most ancient German translation 
is supposed to have been made by Ulphilas, A. D. 360. The Old Testament of all these translations, except the Syrian, is taken from the 
Septuagint, and not immediately from the Hebrew text. 

We will now give some account of the translations of the Bible into the English language; There have been some who have affirmed 
that Adelme, Bishop of Slierburn, who lived in the beginning of the eighth century, translated the Psalms into tlve Saxon tongue. That 
however is uncertain, as some of the best historians make no mention ofit ; yet it is possible, as he was a man of great parts, and of <i^reat 
learning for those times, and said *^^o be tlie first Englishman who wrote in the Latin language. About the same time, or a little after, Bede, 
commonly called the venerable Bede, translated some parts of the New Testament, some say the whole Bible, but that is not probable. Near 
200 years later, king Alfred translated the Psalms into the same language. In 1382 Wickliff finished his ti'anslation of the Bible,which is 
yet extant ; that is to say, there are copies of it in some publick and private libraries. All these translations were made from the Vulgate. 
In the reign of Henry the eighth, several editions of the Old and New Testaments were published in English ; one of the most remarkable 
is that of William Tyndal in 1530. The translations of the New Testament were made from the original Greek, but probably the Old Tes- 
tament either from the Latin of the Vulgate, or the Greek of the Septuagint. This was soon followed by the improvements of Coverdale 
and Mathews. By order of the King, Tonstal, Bishop of Durham, and Heath, Bishop of Rochester, made a new translation, which was 
published in 1541 : but, not pleasing Henry, it was suppressed by authority. In the reign of king Edward the sixth, another translation 
was made; two editions of which were published, one in 1549, and the other in 1551. In the reign of queen Elizabeth another translation 
was made, which, being revised by some of the most learned of the Bishops, went by the name of the Bishops' Bible. This professed to be 
translated from the Hebrew of the Old Testament, and the Greek of the New, though in some instances, when there was a difFereuce, it pre- 
ferred the Septuagint to the Hebrew. 

This last circumstance, with some others. Induced king James the first to select fifty-four persons, eminent in learning, and particularly 
well acquainted with the original languages in which the Old and New Testaments were written, to make a new translation of the whole 
Bible. In the year 1607, forty seven of those persons, the other seven probably having died, assembled together, and arranged themselves 
into committees, to each of which a portion was given to translate. They were favoured not only with the best translations, but with the 
most accurate copies, and the various readings of the original text. After about three years assiduous labour, they severally completed the 
parts assigned them. They then met together, and while one read the translation newly formed, the rest had each a copy of the orio-inal text 
in his hand, or some one ofthe ancient versions, and when any dithculty occurred they stopped, till by common consultation it was deter- 
mined what was most agreeable to the inspired Original. This translation was first published A. D. 1610, and is the one which has been 
ever since that time printed by publick authority, and generally used in the British dominions. It may be added with safety, that it has been 
generally approved by men of learning and piety of all denominations, of which its having never been superseded by any other, for two 
hundred years, is a sufficient proof. 

The publisher has only further to add, that he has made the following impression from the Oxford edition of 1784 by Jackson and Ham- 
ilton — andhasbeen particularly attentive in the revisal and correction ofthe proof-sheets with the Cambridge edition of 1668 by John Field 

with the Edinburgh edition of 1775 Kincaid, and, in all variations, with the London edition of 1772 by Eyre and Strahan — that where there 
was any difference in words, or in the omission or addition of Avords, among these, he followed that which appeared to be most agreeable to 
the Hebrew of Arias Montanus, and to the Greek of Arias Montanus and Leusden, and always adopted some one ofthe above-mentioned 
English copies as his authority, except in the mode of spelling, in which he has generally followed Johnson.

CHAPTER I. 

The creation of heaven and earth.. ..14 Of the sun, moon, 
and stars. ...2G Of man in the image of God.. ..29 Also the 
appointment of food. 

N the beginning" God created the ''heaven and the 
earth. 

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and 
darkness was upon the face of the deep : and the 
•= Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 

3 And ''God said, Let there be light: and there 
was light. 

4 And God saw the light, that it was good : and 
God t divided the light from the darkness. 

5 And God called the light Day, and die dark- 
ness he called Night. And the f evening and the 
morning were the first day. 

6 H And God said, " Let there be f a firmament in 
the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters 
from the waters. 

7 And God made the firmament, and divided the wa- 
ters which loere under the firmament from the waters 
which ivere above the firmament : and it was so. 

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And 
the evening and the morning were the second day. 

9 II Ancl God said. Let the waters under the 
heaven be gathered together imto ^ one i)lace, and 
let the dry land apjiear : and it was so. 

1 And God called the ^ dry land Earth, and the 
gathering together of the waters called he Seas : and 
God saw that it was good. 

1 1 And God said, Let the Earth f bring forth 
grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit-tree yield- 
ing fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon 
the earth : and it was so. 

12 And the Earth brought forth grass, and herb 
yielding seed after his '"kind, and the tree yielding 
fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind : and 
God saw that it wa.s good. 

13 And the evening and the morning were the 
third day. 

14 11 And God said, Let there be 'lights in the 
firmament of the heaven, to divide f the day from 
the night : and let them be for signs, and for sea- 
sons, and for days, and years : 

1 5 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the 
heaven, to give light upon the earth : and it was so. 

16 And God made two great lights; the greater 
light to t rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the 
night : he made the stars also. 

17 And God " set them m the firmament of the 
heaven, to give light upon the earth, 

B 



18 And to ' rule over the day and over the night, 
and to divide the light from the darkness : and God 

\ saw that it was good. 

19 And the evening and the morning were the 
fourth day. 

20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth 
abundantly the moving creature that hath f life, and 
fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firma- 

: ment of hea\ en. 

21 And God created great whales, ai^.d every liyijig 
I creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth 
I abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl 
i after his kind : and God saw that it was good. 

22 And God "" blessed them, saying. Be fruitful, 
i and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas ; and 

let fowl multijily in the earth. 

23 And the evening and the morning were the 
fifth day. 

24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the 
living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping 
thing, and beast of the earth after his kuid : and it 
Mas so. 

25 And God made the beast of the earth after his 
kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing 

: that cree[)eth upon the earth after his kind : and 
God saw that it ivas good. 

26 And God said, " Let us make man in ° our image, 
: after our likeness ; and let them have ^ dominion over 

the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and 
I over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every 
; creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 

27 So God created man in his own ima^e ; in 
I the image of God created he him ; "^ male and female 
! created he them. 

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto 
; them, ''Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the 
i earth, and subdue it : and have dominion over the 

fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and 
over every living thing that moveth % upon the 
earth. 

29 H And God said, Behold, I have given )'ou every 
I herb t bearing seed, which <.9upon the face of all the 
; earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a 

tree yielding seed ; ^ to you it shall be for meat. 

30 And to *" every beast of the earth, and to every 
fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon 

; the earth, wherein there is f life, I have given every 
I green herb for meat : and it was so. 

31 And God saw every thing that he had made, 
and behold, 2Mm,s " very good. And the evemng 
and the morning were the sixth day.

7 And the Lord God ° formed man off the dust i

8 11 And the Lord God planted a ' garden east- « 
ward in Eden ; and there he put the man whom he j 
had formed. ! 

9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to i 
grow every ^ tree that is pleasant to the sight, and ; 
good for food ; the tree of life also in the midst of the < 
garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 

10 And a ' river went out of Eden to water the [ 
garden : and from thence it was parted, and became } 
into four heads. 

1 1 The name of the first is Pison : that is it 
which compasseth the whole land of Havilah,where 
there is gold ; 

12 And the gold of that land is good : there is 
bdellium and the onyx-stone. 

13 And the name of the second river is Gihon : the 
same is it that compasseth the whole land of fEthiopia. 

14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel : 
that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. 
And the fourth river is Euphrates. 

15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him 



4 And the serpent said unto the wonian, Ye shall 
^ not surely die : 

5 For God doth know, that in the day ye eat fve..?. 
thereof, then '' your eyes shall be opened ; and ye ^''^•^'^^ 
shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 

6 And ^vhen the woman ^ saw that the tree ivas 
good for food, and that it 7vas f pleasant to the eyes, 
and a tree to be de.sired to make one wise, she took 
of the fruit thereof, and did eat ; and '' gave also un- 
to her husband with her, and he did eat.

tiply on the face of the earth, and daughters

them : the same became mighty men, which were of 
old, men of renown.

10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and 
Japheth. 

1 1 The Earth also was corrupt ° before God ; and 
the Earth was filled with violence. 

12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it 
was corrupt ; for all flesh had corrupted his way 
upon the earth. 

13 And God said unto Noah, p The end of all 
flesh is come before me ; for the earth is '^ fdled with 
violence through Lhem : and, behold, I will destroy 
them with the earth. 

14 11 Make thee an ark of gopher- wood : rooms 
shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within 
and without with pitch. 

15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make 
it of : the length of the ark shall be three hundred 
cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height 
of it thirty^ cubits. 

16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and m 
a cubit shalt thou finish it above ; and the door of 
the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof: loith lower, 
second, and third stories shalt thou make it. 

17 And, behold, ' I, even I, do bring a flood of wa- 
ters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is 
the breath of life, from under heaven ; and every 
thing that is in the earth ' shall die. 

18 But with thee will I establish my covenant : 
and ^ thou shalt come into the ark ; thou, and thy 
sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee. 

19 And of every living thing of all flesh, " two of 
every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them 
alive with thee : they shall be male and female. 

20 Of fowls after their kind, and o-f cattle after 
their kind; of every creeping thing of the earth after 
his kind : two of every sort shall come ^ unto thee, 
to keep them alive. 

21 And take tliou unto thee of all food that is 
eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee ; and it shall 
be for food for thee, and for them.

commanded him, so did ^ he.

1 Noah, with his family, and the living creatures, enter the 
ark. ...17 The beginning and continuance of the flood. 

AND the Lord said unto Noah, * Come thou and 
all thy ^ house into the ark : for thee have "^ I 
seen righteous before me in this '^ generation. 

2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by 
t sevens, the male and his female ; and of beasts 
that are not clean by two, the male and his female. 

3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the 
female ; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 

4 For yet seven days, and ^ I will cause it to rain 
upon the earth forty days and forty nights ; and ev- 
ery Uving substance that I have made will I f destroy 
from off the face of the earth. 

5 And Noah did according unto ?J1 that the Lord 
commanded him. 

6 And Noah ivas six hundred years old when the 
flood of waters was upon the earth. 

7 H And Noah went in, and ' his sons, and his 
wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark,

6 H And it came to pass, at the end of forty da3^s, 
that Noah " opened the window of the ark which he 
had made : 

7 And he sent forth a *" raven, which went forthfto and 
fro, until the waters were dried up from olf the earth. 

8 Also he sent forth ^ a dove from him, to see if the 
waters were abated from ofl" the face of the ground : 

9 But the dove '' found no rest for the sole of her 
foot, and she returned unto him into the ark : for the 
waters ivere on the face of the whole earth. Then he 
put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in un- 
to him into the ark. 

10 And he ' stayed yet other seven days, and again 
he sent forth the dove out of the ark : 

1 1 And the dove came in to him in the evening, 
and, lo, in her mouth was an ^ olive-leaf pluckt off. 
So Noah knew that the waters -w^ere abated from oft' 
the earth. 

12 And he stayed 'yet other seven days, and sent 
forth the dove, which returned not again unto him 
anymore. 

1 3 \ And it came to pass, in the six hundredth 
and first year, in the ^vst month, the first day of the 
month, the waters were dried up from off the earth : 
and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and look- 
ed, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry. 

14 And in the second month, on the ■" seven and 
twentieth day of the month, Avas the earth dried. 

15 1 And God spake imto Noah, saying, 

16 " Go forth of the ark, thou and thy wife, and 
thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. 

17 Bring forth with thee every living thing thatrs 
with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and 
of every creejnng thing that creepeth ujjon the earth ; 
that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be 
fruitful, and multiply ui^on the earth. 

18 And Noah " went forth, and his sons, and his 
wife, and his sons' wives with him : 

19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every 
fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after 
their t kinds, went forth out of the ark. 

20 H And Noah bnilded ^ an altar unto the Lord, 
and took of every clean beast, and of every clean 
fowl, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar. 

21 And the Lord smelled f a sweet savour : and the 
Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse tlie 
ground any more for man's sake ; for the imagination of 
man's heart ts evil from his youth : neither will I again 
smite any more every thing living, as 1 have i done. 

22 t While the earth remaineth, seed-time and 
harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, 
and day and night, sliall not cease.

1 6 11 And the men rose up from thence, and look- 
ed toward Sodom : and Abraham went with them 
^ to bring them on the way. 

1 7 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham 
that thing which ' I do ; 

18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a 
great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the 
earth shall be blessed "^ in him ? 

19 For ^ I know him, that he will ^ command his 
children and his household after him, and they shall 
keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judg- 
ment ; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that 
which he hath spoken of him. 

20 And the Lord said, Because the ^ cry of Sodom 
and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very 
grievous ; 

21 I '' will go down now, and see whether they 
have done altogether according to the cry of it, which 
is come unto me ; and if not, I Mall ' know. 

22 And the men turned their faces from thence, 
and went toward Sodom : but Abraham "^ stood yet 
before the Lord. 

23 And Abraham ' drew near, and said, Wilt thou 
also destroy " the righteous with the wicked ? 

24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the 
city : wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place 
for the fifty righteous that are therein ? 

25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, 
to slay the righteous with the wicked; and that the 
righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from 
thee. " Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right ? 

26 And the Lord said, If I find in Sodom fifty right- 
eous within the city, then i ^vill spare all " the place 
for their sakes. 

27 And Abraham answered a\xl said, Behold now, 
I have taken upon me to speak unCo the Lord, which 
am P but dust and ashes : 

28 Peradventure there shall lack ^ve of the fifty 
righteous : wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of Jive ? 
And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not 
destroy it. 

29 And he spake unto him ^ yet again, and said, 
Peradventure there shall be forty Ibund there. And he 
said, 1 will not do it for forty's sake. 

30 And he said imto him, ' O let not the Lord be 
angry, and I will speak : Peradventure there shall 
thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it if 
I find thirty there. 

31 And he said, Behold now, ^ I have taken u[)on 
me to speak unto the Lord : Peradventure there shall 
be twenty found there. And he said, I will not de- 
stroy it for twenty's sake. 

32 And he said, O let not the Lord be angry, and 
I will speak yet but this once : Peradventure ten shall 
be found there. And he said, ' I will not destroy it for 
ten's sake. 

33 And the Lord went his way, as soon as he had 
left communing with Abraham : and Abraham re- 
turned unto his place.

and Lot sat ^ in the gate of Sodom : and Lot, 
seeing them,, rose up to meet them ; and he bowed 
himself wit!) his face toward the t!,round ; i 



I 2 And he said. Behold now, my lords, turn in, I 
; pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all

3 And he * pressed upon them greatly ; and they 
^ turned in unto him, and entered into his house : and 
he made them a feast, and did bake ^ unleavened 
bread, and they did eat. 

4 But '■ before they lay down, the men of the city, 
eve7i the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, 
' both old and young, all the people from every quarter : 

5 And ^ they called unto Lot, and said unto him. 
Where are the men which came in to thee this night ? 
bring them out unto us, that we may ' know them. 

6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and 
shut the door after him, 

7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wick-

8 Behold now, I have t^o daughters which have

again, This one felloiv came in •* to sojourn, and he 
will '^ needs be a judge : now will we ' deal worse 
with thee than with them. And they pressed sore upon 
the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door. 

10 But the m;m put forth their hand, and pulled 
Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. 

1 1 And they smote the men that tvere at the door 
of the house with f blindness, both small and great ; 
so that they wearied themselves to find the door. 

12 IT And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here 
any besides ? son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy 
daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, 
' bring them out of this place : 

13 For we will destroy this place, because the 
*■ cry of them is waxen great before the fiice of the 
Lord ; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it. 

14 And Lot ^ent out, and spake unto his sons-in- 
law, which " married his daughters, and said, Up, 
^ get ye out of this place; for the Lord will destroy 
this city. But he seemed as one that ^ mocked unto 
his sons-in-law. 

15 And when the morning arose, then the angels 
hastened Lot, saying. Arise, take thy wife, and thy 
two daughters, which are here ;lest thou be consu- 
med ^ in the iniquity of the city. 

1 6 And while he * lingered, the men laid ^ hold 
upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and 
upon the hand of his two daughters ; the Lord being 
" merciful unto him ; lind they brought him fortli, ancl 
set him without the city. 

17 And it came to pass, when they had brought 
them forth abroad, that "^ he said. Escape " for thy life ; 
^ look not bell ind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain ; 

I escape to the ^ mountain, lest thoii be consumed. 
I 1 8 And Lot said unto them. Oh,'' not so, my lord : 
I 1 9 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy 
I sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou 
: hast shewed unto me in saving my life ; and I can- 
not escape to the mountahi, lest some * evil take me, 
and I die. 

20 Behold now this city is near to flee unto, and 
it is a little one : Oh, let me escape thither, (is it 
not a little one ?) and my soul shall live.

27 H And Abraham gat up early in the mornhig to 
the place where "■ he stood before the Lord : 

28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrali, 
and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, 
lo, the 'smoke of the country went up as the smoke 
of a furnace. , 

29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the \ 
t ch. 18, 22 cities of the plain, that God ^ remembered Abraliam, 

and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when 
he overtlnew the cities in the which Lot dwelt. 

30 H And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt " in | 
8 the mountain, and his two daughters with him ; for ' 

lie feared to d^vell in Zoar : and he dwelt in a cave, 
he and his two daughters. 

31 And the first-born said unto the younger. Our 
faiher is old, and there is ^ not a man in the earth ^ to 
come in unto us after the manner of all the earth : 

32 ^ Come, let us make our father drink wme, and 
we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of 
our father. 

_ 33 And they made their father " drink wine that 
niglit : and the iu'st-born went in, and lay with her 
father ; and he percei\'ed not when she lay down, nor 
when she arose. 

34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the 
first-born said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yester- 
night with my father : let us make him drink wine 
this night also ; and go thou in, and lie with him, that 
we may preserve seed of our father. 

_ 35 And they made their father drink wine that 
night also : and the younger arose, and lay with him ; 
and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when 
she arose. 

36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child \ 
^ by their father. 

37 And the first-born l)are a son, and called his 
name || Moab : the same is the father of the " Moab- \ 
ites unto this day. \ 

38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and cal- t 
led his^ name !| Ben-ammi : the same is the father of i

14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and men-

CHAPTER XXXVII. | 

2 Joseph is hated of his brethren. ...5 His two dreams....! 8 ! 
His brethren conspire his death.. ..21 Reuben saveth him. | 
26 They sell him to the Is-hmeelites....36 He is sold to Poti- ; 
phar in Egj'pt. ! 

4 ND Jacob dwelt in the land f wherein his father > 
.t\. was a stranger, in the hmd of Canaan. ! 

2 II These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, I 
being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with ; 
his brethren ; and the lad was with the soiis of Bil- ; 
hah, and with the sonsof Zilpah, his father's * wives : ; 
and Joseph brought unto his father their " evil report. 

3 Now Israel " loved Josei)h more than all his chil- 
dren, because he was the '' son of his old age : and he 
made him " a coat of many colours. 

4 And wdien his brethren saw that their father loved 
him more than all his brethren, they ^ hated him, and 
could not speak peaceably unto him. 

5 And Joseph ° dreamed a dream, and he told it 
his brethren : and they hated him '■ yet the more. 

6 And he said unto them. Hear, i pray you, this 
dream which I have dreamed : 

7 For, behold, we ?/;ere binding sheaves in the field, 
and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright ; and, 
behold, your sheaves stood ' round about, and '' made 
obeisance to my sheaf. 

8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed 
' reign over us ? or shalt thou indeed have dominion 
over us ? And they hated him yet the more for his 
dreams, and for his words. 

9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it 
his brethren, and said. Behold, I have dreamed a 
dream more ; and, behold, the " sun, and the moon, 
and the eleven ° stars, made obeiscUice to me. 

10 And he told it to his father, and to his bredu'en : 
and his father rebuked him, and said unto him. What 
w this dream that thou has dreamed ? Shall I, and 
thy mother, and thy brethren, indeed come to bow 
down ourselves to thee to the earth ? 

11 And his brethren envied him ; but his father 
"observed the saying. 

12 H And his brethren went to feed their father's 
flocit hi Shechem. 

13 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy breth- 
ren feed the flock in Shechem ? come, and 1 will 
send thee unto them. And he said to him. Here am I. 



14 And he said to him. Go, I pray thee, f see 
\vhether it be Avell with thy brethren, and w^ell with 
the flocks ; and bring me word again. So he sent 
him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to 
Shechein. 

15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he 
was wandering in the field : and the man asked him, 
saying. What seekest thou ? 

16 And he said, p I seek my brethren: tell me, I 
pray thee, where they feed their fl.ocks. 

1 7 And the man said, They are departed hence ; 
for I heard them say. Let us go to ** Dothan. And 
Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in 
Dothan, 

1 8 And when they saw him afar off, even before 
he came near unto them, they ' conspired against him 
to slay him. 

19 And they said one to another, Behold, this 
t dreamer cometh. 

20 Copne now, therefore, and let us slay him, and 
cast him into some ^ pit ; and we will say, * Some evil 
beast hath devoured him : and w^e shall see what will 
become of his dreams. 

21 And " Reuben heard it, and he delivered him 
out of their hands ; and said. Let us not kill him. 

22 And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but 
cast him into this pit that is In the wilderness, and lay 
no hand upon him ; that he might rid him out of their 
hands, to ^ deliver him to his father again. 

23 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come 
unto his brethren, that they ^ stripped Joseph out of 
his coat, his coat of many colours, that ivas on him : 

24 And they took him, and cast him into a pit : and 
the ]iit was empty, there was ^ no water in it. 

25 And they sat down ^ to eat bread : and they 
lifted up their eyes, and looked, and, behold, a com- 
pany of Ishmeelites came from " Gilead, with their 
camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to 
cany it down to Egypt. 

26 And Judah said unto his brethren, *^ What 
profit is it if we slay our brother, and "^ conceal his 
blood ? 

27 Come, and let us ^ sell him to the Ishmeelites, 
and let not our hand be upon him ; for he is oisr broth- 
er and our flesh : And his brethren were content. 

28 Then there passed by ^ Midianites, merchant- 
men ; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the 
pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for ^ twenty 
pieces of silver : and they brought Joseph into Egj-^pt. 

29 And Reuben returned unto the])it; and, be- 
hold, Joseph was not in the pit : and he'^rent his clothes : 

30 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The 
child is ' not ; and I, whither shall I go ? 

31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid 
of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood : 

32 And they seiit_ the coat of many colours, and 
they brought it to their father ; and said. This have we 
found : know now whether it 6e thy son's coat or no. 

33 And he knew it, and said. It is my son's coat ; 
an evil beast hath devoured him : Joseph is ^ without 
dou})t rent in pieces. 

34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put ' sackcloth 
upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days- 

35 And all his sons and all "" his daughters rose up 
to comfort him ; but he ° refused to be comforted : 
and he said. For I will go down into the grave unto 
my son mourning. Thus his father \xo.pt for him. 

36 And the ° Midianites sold him into Egypt, unto

en years of liunine. 

28 This 75 the thin^ which I have spoken unto 
Pharaoh ; what God is about to do he sheweth unta 
Pharaoh. 

29 Behold, thi?re come seven years of great plenty 
throughout all the land of Egypt : 

30 And there shall arise after them seven years of 
famine ; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in tt)e 
land of Egypt ; and tlie famine shall consume the 
land : 

31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land 
i by reason of that famme following ; for it shall he 
I very grievous. 

i 32 And for that the dream was ^ doubled unto j^pi^hp-s, 
\ Pharaoh twice ; it is because the thing is establish- '' 
I ed by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass. 
J _ QS Now therefore, let Pharaoh look out a man 

discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. 
34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint ^^^^^^ 
\ t officers over the land, and take up the '' fifth part "opl 
i of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years, h"" 
35 And let them gather all the food of those good 2^'vin;s 
years that come, and lay up corn ^ under the h;uid of sciuon s4 
Phai-aoh, and let them keep food in the cities. 

. ... ( ..., ^ , . ..^ SQ And that food shall be " for store to the land ,^„ 

restored unto mine office, and him \ against the seven yea)'s of famine, which shall be in Luke w, 9 

\ the land of Egypt ; that the land f perish not through 
the famine. 

37 And ^the thing was good in the eyes of Pha- 
raoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. 

38 A)xl Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we 
find such a one as this is, a man in whom " the Spirit 
of God is ? 

39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as 
God hatli shewed thee '' all this, there is none so dis- 
creet and wise as thou art : 

40 Thou shah be " over my house, and according ^°'''^' 
unto ■" thyAvord shall all my people be f ruled : only f Job 29, 22 
in the throne will I be greater than thou. 

41 And Pharaoh said unto Josei)h, See, I have 
^ set thee over all the land of Egypt. 

42 And Pharaoh took off his '' ring from his hand, 
and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in

10. & 19, 12. ^ ^^^1 ^j^g ggyyji tiiin ears devoured the seven rank 

and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it

8 And it came to pass in the mornjjig that his .spirit 
was ^ troubled ; and he s&nt and called for all the 
^magicians of Egypt, and all the '' wise men thereof: 
and Pharaoh told them his dreams ; but there was ^ 
'none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh. 

9 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, say- 
1 Bail. 2, 10. ing, I do remember ^ my faults this day. 
iSi'i.M,it 10 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put 

me in ward in the ' captain of the guard's house, both 
me and the chief baker. 

1 1 And "' we dreamed a dream in one night, I and 
he ; we dreamed each man according to the inter- 1 
pretation of his dream. 

12 And there was there with us a young man, a 
Hebrew, .servant to the captain of the guard ; and we 
told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams : to 
each man according to his dream he did interpret. 

13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us so 
it was ; me " he 
he hanged. 

14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and 
fueb.macie they f brought him hastily out of the dungeon : and 

he ° shaved Jdmself, and changed his ^ raiment, and 
came in unto Pharaoh. 

1 5 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dream-

behold, I stood upon the bank of the river : 

18 And, behold, there came up out of the river 
seven kine, fat-fleshed, and well-favoured ; and the}^ 
fed in a meadow. 

19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after 
them, poor and very ill-favoured, and lean-fleshed, 
such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for bad- 
ness : 

20 And the lean and the ill-favoured kine did eat 
up the first seven fat kine : 

21 And when they had eaten them up, it could 
not be known that they had eaten them ; but they 
were ' still ill-favoured, as at the beginning. So I 
awoke. 

22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven 
ears came up in one stalk, full and good : 

23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and 
blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them : 

2-1 And the thiri ears devoured the seven good| 
ears. And I told this unto the magicians ; but there \ 
was nowQ that could declare it to me. \

Pharaoh is one ; God hath shewed Pharaoh what he ; 
is " about to do. I 

26 The seven good kine are seven years ; and the \

30 And Israel said unto Josepli, Now ' let nut die, 
i Luke 2,29 gjj^ee I havc seen thy face, because thoa art yet alive. 

31 And Jose])h said unto his brethren, and unto his 
father's house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and 
say unto him, ^ My brethren, and my father's house, 
which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me; 

32 And the men are shepherds, lor f th.eir trade 
hath been to feed cattle ; and they have brought their 
flocks, and their herds, and all tliat they have. 

33 And it shall come topass^ when Phaiaoli shall

34 That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been 
about cattle from our youth even until now, both we

CHAPTER XLVII. 

1 Joseph presenteth five of his brethren, and his fadier, before 
Pharaoh. ...28 Jacob's age.. ..29 He sweareth Joseph to bury 
him witli his fathers.

^ My father, and my brethren, and their flocks.

2 And he took some of Jiis brethren, eve7i five men, 
and presented them unto Pharaoh. 

3 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, ^ What 
^.^your occupation .^^ And they said unto Pharaoh, 
Thy servants are "^ shepherds, both we, and also our 
fathers. 

4 They said moreover unio Pharaoh, Eor to so- 
joiu'n in the land are we come : for thy servants have 
no pasture for their flocks ; for the famine is sore in 
the land of Canaan : now therefore, we pray thee, let 
thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen. 

5 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying. Thy 
father and thy breihren are come unto thee : 

6 The land of Egyp,t is "^ before thee : in the best 
of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell ; 
in the land of Goshen let them dwell : and if thou 
knowest any men of ^ activity among them, then 
make them rulers over mycattle. 

7 II And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set 
him before Pharaoh : and Jacob "^blessed Pharaoh. 
8 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, tHo^v old art thou ? 
t iieb How ^ "^"^^ Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the 
muny'arr jeai's of my ^pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty

grimage- 

10 And Jacob ^blessed Pharaoh, and went out 
from before Pharaoh. 

1 1 !I And Joseph placed his father and hisbrethren, 
and gave them a possession in the land of Egyj)t, in 
the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pha- 
raoh had commanded. 

12 And Jose])h nourished his father, and hisbreth- 
ren, and ail his father's household, with bread, |] ac- 
cording t to their families.

\ 14 And Joseph gatliered up all the money that was 

\ found in the land of Egvjtt, and in the land of Ca- 

^naan, for the corn v/hich they bought; and Josc|)h 

\ brought the money into Pharaoh's iiouse 

i 15 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, 

^ and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came 

\ unto Joseph, and said, Give us' bread : for why should 

\ we die iu thy ])resence .? for the money faileth. 

\ 16 And Joseph said. Give your cattle ; and "" 1 will 

5 give you for your cattle, if money fail. 

\ 1 7 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph : and \^"'''- ^'^• 

I Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and 

^ for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for 

> the asses ; and he fed them with bread for all their 
5 cattle for that year. 

5 1 8 When tliat year was ended, they came unto him 
5 the second year, and said unto him. We will " not hide 
\ it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord 
\ also hath our herds of cattle : there is not aught left 
\ in the sight of my lord, but our bodies and our lands : 
\ 19 Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both 
\ we and our land ? buy us and our land for bread, and 
\ we and oin- land Avill be servants unto Pharaoh ; and 
^give W5seed, that we may live and not die, that the 
I land be not desolate. 

i 20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for 
\ Pharaoh ; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, 
\ because the famine prevailed over them : so the land 
i became Pharaoh's. 

I 21 And as for the ])eopie, he removed them to 
j cities from owf end of the borders of Egypt even to the 
s o////r end thereof. <h.'4i,«.& 

\ 22 Only the land of the || i)riests bought he not ; h'.'is: 

I for the i)riests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, 

\ and did eat their " jjortion which Pharaoh gave them ; 

I ^^'herefore they sold not their lands. 

i '23 Then Jo.seph said unto the peo[)le. Behold, I 

5 have bought you this day, and your land, for Pharaoh : 

I lo, here is ^ seed for you, and ye shall sow the land. 

i 24 And it shall come to pass, in the increase, that \T: ^'^' '^' 

I you shall give the fifth part unto Pliaraoh ; and four 

I I parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for 
^your food, and for them of j'our households, and for 
I food for your little ones. 

I 25 And they said. Thou hast f saved our lives ; let ),,J,',^,';; 
^ us ^ find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be 
i Pharaoh's servants. 

I 26 And Joseph made it a law over the land of 'v'-'i^.T^' '^ 
^ Egypt unto this day, ?/;»;! Pharaoh should have the 
i fifth part ; ex"cept the land of the priests only, ivhich 
^becamemot Pharaoh's. 

s 27 'I And Israel dwelt in the land of Egyi)t, in the 
s country of Goshen ; and they had possessions therein, 
\i\iul grew, and multiplied ^ exceedhigly. 
\ 28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seven- 

> teen years : so f tlie whole age of Jacob was a hun- 
5 dred forty and seven years. 

5 29 And the time drew nigh that Israel ^ must die : 
I and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him. If 
I now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, 
I thy hand under ^ my thigh, and deal kindly and truly 
I with me ; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt : 

I 30 But I will lie with my fathers ; and thou shalt 22 ^ ' "' 
^ carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their " bury- ,^^'-50,24,

Pbaiaoh conimandeth the male children 

tlie river. : 

JOW these are the "^ names of tlie children of: 
Isruel, wliich came into Egypt ; every man and 
his houselio'd came with Jacob. 

2 " Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Jiidah, : 

o "^ Issachar, Zebidun, and '^ Benjamin, : 

4 Dan, and NaphtaU, Gad, and Asher. _ i 

5 And all the soids that came out of the loins of 
Jacol) were ''seventy souls: '' for Joseph was inEg}'pt 
already. 

6 And Joseph died, and all ^ his brethren, and all ; 
that generation. 

7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and ''in- 
creased abundantly, and midtiplied, and waxed ex- 
ceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them. 

8 UNow there arose up a 'new king over Egypt, 
which " knew not Joseph. 

9 And he said unto his people. Behold, the people of 
the children of Israel are more and mightier tlian we : 

10 "' Come on, let us "^ deal wisely with them ; lest 
they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there 
falleth out a)iy war, they join also unto our enemies, 
and liglit against us, and .sogetthem upoutof the land. 

1 1 Therefore they did set over them task-masters, 
to afflict them with their " burdens. And they built 
for Pharaoh treasure-cities, Pithom and Raamses. 

12 t But the more they afflicted them the more 
they multiplied and grew. And they were ^ grieved 
because of the children of Israel. 

13 And tlie Egyptians made the children of Israel 
to serve with "^ rigour : 

14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bon- 
dage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of 
service in the held : all their service, wherein tliey 
mad<3 them serve, ivas with rigour. 

15 ^ And the king of Egypt sj)ake to the Hebrew 
midwives ; (of which the name of one was Shiphrah, 
and the name of the other Puah ;) 

16 And he said. When 3'e do the office of a mid- 
wife to die Hebrew women, and see them upon the 
stools, if it be a son, then ye shall ' kill him : but if 
it be a daugliter, then she shall live. 

17 But the midwives ' feared God, and did not ' as 
the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the 
men-cliildren alive. 

18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwiv(>s, 
and said unto tlieni, " Why have ye done this thing, 
and have saved the men-chddren ?dive ? 

19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because 
the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women ; 
for they are lively, and are delivered ^ ere the mid- 
wives come in unto them. 

20 Therefore God dealt ^ well with the midwives: 
and the people multiplied, iuid waxed very mighty. 

21 And It came to pass, because the midwives 
feared God, that he ^ made them houses. 

22 And Pharaoh * charged all his people, saying, 
Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and 
every daughter ye shall save alive. 

CHAPTER II. 

2 Moses is born, 3 ana in an ark cast into the flags.. ..11 He 
slayeth an Egyptian... .21 He marrieth Zipporah. 
ND there went " a man of the house of Levi, 
and ^ took to wife a daughter of Levi. 



2 And the "s^oman conceived and bare a '^ son : and 
\^'hen she sa^v him that he was '^ a goodly c/( ?'/</, she 
" hid him three months. 

3 And ^^hen she could ''no longer hide him, she 
took for himan ark of bulrushes, and daid)ed it with 
slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and 
she laid it in the flags by tlie river's brink. 

\ 4 And =his sister stood afar off, to witMhat would 
be done to him. 

: 5 And the '' daughter of Pharaoh came down to 
iwasli herself at the river; and her maidens walked 
: along by the river's side: and when she saAV the ark 
: among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. 
\ 6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child : 
I and, behold, the babe wept. iVnd she had ' compas- 
ision on him, and said. This is one of the "Hebrews' 
i children. 

; 7 Th(^n said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall 
: I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, 
; that she may nurse the child for thee ? 
I 8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her. Go. And 
I the maid ^vent and called the ' chikPs mother. 
; 9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her. Take 
jtliis child away, and nmse it for me, and I will give 
\ thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, tuid 
; nursed it. 
I 10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto 

I Piiaraoh's daughter, and he became "" her son. And 
\ she called his name || Moses: and she said, 13ecause 

I I drew him out of the wafer. 

; 1 1 il And it came to pass in those days, when Moses 
; was " gro^^ n, that he \Aent out tmto his brethren, and 
i looked on tlieir burdens: iuid he espied an Egyptian 
I smiting a Hebrew, one of iiis brethren. 
• 12 And he looked this way and that \A"iy, and, 
; when he saw that there ivas no man, he " slew the 
I Egy[)tian, and hid him in the sand. 
! 13 And when he went out ''the second day, behold, 
I two men of the Hebrews strove together: ajidhesaid 
; 1 to him that did the wrong. Wherefore smitest thou 
> thy fellow ? 

j 14 And he said, Who made thee ' a prince and a 
jjudge over us.^ intendest thou to kill me, as thou 
I killedst the Egyptian ? And Moses ' feared, and said, 
\ Surely this thing is known. 

i 15 Now when Pliaraoh heard this thing, he sought 
;to slay Moses. But Moses ^ fled from the face of 
; Pharaoh, imd dwelt in the land of " Midian: And he 
; sat down by a ^ well. 

! 16 Now the II priest of Midian had seven daugh- 
Iters: and they came and drew ivater, and fllled the 
; troughs to water their father's flock. 
I 1 7 And the shepherds came and drove them away : 
\ but_ Pvloses stood up ajid ^ helped them, and watered 
; their flock. 

[ 18 And when th(^y came to ^ Reuel their father, he 
I said. How is it that you are come so soon to-day? 
I 19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out 
lof the hand of the shepherds, and also drew ivater 
\ enough for us, and watered the flock. 
! 20 And he said unto his '^ daughters, And where is 
I he? why 2.S it /Ac/i ye have left the man? call him, 
\ that he may eat '' bread. 

I 21 And Moses ^^'as content to dwell with the man : 
I and he " gave Moses ''_Zi])i'>orah his daughter.

CHAPTER IV. 

1 The sin-offering of ignorance, 3 for the priest, 27 for any of 
the people. ; 

AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saymg, If; 
a soul shall shi through** ignorance against^ any of; 
the commandments of the Lord concerning^ things ', 
which ought not to be done, and shall do against any ' 
of them : : 

3 If the priest that is" anointed dc sin f according | 
to the sin of the people ; then let him bring, for his: 
sin which he hath sinned, a young bullock without 
blemish unto the Lord for f a sin-offering. 

4 And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of 
the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord ; 
and shall " kiy his hand upon the bullock's head, and 
kill the bullock before the Lord. 

5 And the priest that is ^ anointed shall take of the 
bullock's blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the 
congregation : 

6 And the priest shall dij) his finger in the blood, 
and ^ si)rinkle of the blood '' seven times before the 
Lord, before the vail of the sanctuary. 

7 x4nd the priest shall put some oi' the blood upon ; 
the horns of the altar of ' sweet incense before the ' 
Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation ; ; 
and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bot- \ 
tom of the altar of the burnt-offering, which is at the ; 
door of the tabernacle of the congregation. ; 

8 And he shall take off from it all the fat of the i 
bullock for the sin-offering ; the ^ fat thatcovereth the I 
inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inv/ards, ; 

9 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is uponi 
them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the ; 
liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away, i 

10 As it was taken off from the bullock of the sa- : 
crifice of peace-offerings ; and the priest shall burn: 
them upon the altar of the burnt-offering. 

11 And the ' skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, 
with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and 
liis dung, 

12 Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth 
"without the camp unto a clean place, " where the 
ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with 
fire : where the ashes are poured out shall he be 
burnt. 

1 3 II And if the ° whole congregation of Israel sin 
through P ignorance, and the thmg be ^ hid from the 
e3'es of the assembly, and they have done somewhat 
against any of the commandments of the Lord, con- 
cerning things which should not be done, and are 
guilty; _ _ 

14 When the sin which they have sinned against it 
is known, then the congregation shall offer a "■ young 
bullock for the sin, and bring hun before the taber- 
nacle of the congregation. 

1 5 And the ^ elders of the congregation shall ' lay 
their hands upon the head of the bullock before the : 
Lord, and the " bullock shall be killed before the 

Lord. ... . : 

16 And the priest that is ^anointed shall bring of: 
the bullock's blood to the tabernacle of the congre- : 
gation : . , . ' 

1 7 And the priest shall dip his finger m some of the ; 
blood, and s{)rinkle it ^ seven times before the Lord, ; 
even before the vail. i 

18 And he shall put some of the blood upon the 
horns of the altar which is before the Lord, that is in : 



the congregation, ruler ancl people. 



the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out 
all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt- 
offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the 
congregation. 

1 9 And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn 
it upon the altar. 

20 And he shall do with the bullock as he did with 
the bullock for a sin-offering, so shall he do with this : 
and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and 
it shall be forgiven them. 

21 And he shall carry forth the bullock Mvithout 
the camp, and burn him as he burned the first bul- 
lock : it is a sin-offering for the congregation. 

22 II When * a ruler hath sinned, and done some- 
what through ignorance against any of the command- 
ments of the Lord his God, concerning things which 
should not be done, and is guilty ; 

23 Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to 
his knowledge ; he shall bring his offering, a kid of 
the goats, a male without blemish : 

24 And ho shall lay his hand upon the head of the 
goat, and kill it in the place ^ where they kill the burnt- 
offering before the Lord : it is a sin-offering. 

2.5 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin- 
offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of 
the altar of *= ournt-offering, and shall pour out his 
blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt-offering. 

26 And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as 
the fat of the sacrifice of peace-offerings : and the 
priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning 
his sin, and it shall be forgiven him. 

27 H And if "^ any one of the ^ common people sin 
through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against 
an;y of thecommandments of the Lord, concerning 
things which ought not to be done, and be guilty 

28 Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his 
knowledge ; then he shall bring his offering, a kid of 
the goats,_ ^ a female without blemish, for his sin which 
he hath sinned. 

29 And he shall ^ lay his hand upon the head of 
the sin-ofifering, and slay the sin-offering in the place 
of the burnt-offering. 

30 And the })riest shall take of the blood thereof 
with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar 
of burnt-oifering, and shall pour out all the blood 

: thereof at the bottom of the altar. 

31 And he shall '' take away all the fat diereof, as 
the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace- 
offerings ; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, 
for ' a sweet savour unto the Lord : and the priest 
shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be for- 
given him„ 

32 And if he bring ^ a lamb for a sin-offering, he 
shall bring it a female ' without blemish. 

33 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the 
sin-offering, and slay it for a sin-offering, in the place 
where they kill the burnt-offering. 

34 And the priest shall take of the blood of the " sin- 
offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of 
the altar of burnt-offering, and shall pour out all the 
blood thereof at the bottom of the altar. 

35 And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as 
the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice 
of the peace-offerings ; and the priest shall burn them 
upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire 
unto the Lord : and the priest shall make an atone- 
ment for his sin that he hath committed and it shall 
be forgiven him.

2 And they rose up before Moses, '^ with certain of\ 
the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princesj 
of the assemby, f famous in the congregation, men of 
renown : 

3 And they gathered themselves together against; 
Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, f Ye\ 
take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation ; 
" are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among ; 
them : wlierefore then lift youup yourselves above ■ 
the congregation of the Lord 



1 7 And take every man his censer, and put mcensii 
in them, and bring ye before the Lord every man his 
censer, two hundred and fifty censers ; thou also, and

1 8 And they took every man his censer, and put 
fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in 
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with 
Moses and Aaron. 

19 And Korah gathered ® all the congregation a- 
gainst them, unto the door of the tabernacle of the 
congregation : and the "^ glory of the Lord appeared 
unto all the congregation. 

20 And the Lord spake unto Moses, and unto 
Aaron, saying,

22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, 
the ' God of the spirits of "^ all flesh, shall ' one man sin, 
and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation ? 

23 !1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

24 Speak unto the congregation, saying. Get you 
up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and 
Abiram. 

25 And Moses rose up, and went unto Dathan and

her youth ; .^J^

Lord shall forgive her, because her father disallowed iverees?,?

CHAPTER XXXVI. """"'" 

The daughters of Zelophehad marry their father's brotliers' 

sons. 

ND the chief fathers of the families of the chil- 
dren of " Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of 
Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Josepli, came 
near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, 
the chief fathers ol" the children of Israel : 

2 And they said. The, Lord ^'commanded my lord 
to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the chil- 
dren of Israel : and ''my lord was commanded by the 
Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our broth- 
er unto his daughters. 

3 And if they be married to any of the sons of the 
other tr'ihes of tlie children of Israel, then shall their 
inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fa- 
thers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe 
whereunto they are received : so shall it be taken 
from the lot of our inheritance. 

4 And when the ''jubilee of the children of Israel 
shall be, then shall their inheritance be j)nt unto the 
inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received : 
so shall their inheritance be taken away from the in- 
heritance of the tribe of our fathers. 

5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, 
according to the word " of the Lord, saying, The 
tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well. 

6 This is the thing which the Lord doth command 
concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying. 
Let them y marry to whom they think best ; only to 
the ^ family of the tribe of their fathers shall they 
marry : 

7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of 
Israel remove from tribe to tribe ; for every one of the 
children of Israel shall f keei) himself to the inherit- 
ance of the tribe of his fathers. 

8 And every daughter, that possesseth an inherit- 
ance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be 
wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, 
that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the 
inheritance of his fathers. 

9 Neither shall the inheritance remove ^ from 07ie 
tribe to another tribe ; but every one of the tribes of 
the children of Israel shall keep himself to liis own 
inheritance. 

10 Even '' as the Lord commmanded Moses, so 
did the daughters of Zelophehad : 

1 1 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, 
and Noah, the dauglrters of Zelophehad, were mar- 
ried unto their ' fatlier's brothers' sons. 

12 And ihey were married f into the families of 
the sons of Manasseh, the son of Joseph ; and their 
inheritance f remained in the tribe of the family of 
their father. 

13 These are ihe commandments and the judg- 
ments ^vhich the Lord commanded, by the hand 
of Moses, unto the children of Israel, in the plains of 
Moab, by Jordan ?iear Jericho.

the plain over against the Red Sea, between '' Paran, i 
and Toi)hel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Uiza- 5 
hab. \ 

2 {There rtre*" eleven days' journey from Horeb, \ 
by the way of '^ mount Seir, unto ^ Kadesh-barnea.) 5 

3 And It came to pass in the ^ fortieth year, in the j 
s eleventh month, on the lirst day of the month, thai 1 
Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according 5 
unto all that the Lord had given him in command- 
ment unto them ; " \ 

4 Alter he had slain ^ Sihon tite king of the Amor- 
ites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the khig of | 
Bashan, which dwelt at ' Astarpth in Edrei : ; 

5 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began | 
Moses to declare this law, saying, | 

6 The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, say- \ 
ing, Ye have dwelt '' long enough in this mount : | 

7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the \ 
mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nighj 
thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, | 
and in the south, and by the ' sea-side, to the land ot < 
the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great! 
river, the river Euphrates. < 

8 Behold, I have f set the land before you : go in ! 
and iwssess the land which the Lord sware unto; 
your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto \ 
them, and to '" their seed after them. ; 

9 And I spake unto you at " that time, saying, I ; 
am not able to bear you myself alone : j 

10 The Lord your God hadi nniltipliedyou, and, j 
behold, you are this day as the ° stars of heaven fori 
multitude. l 

1 1 (The Lord God of your fathers f make you a ; 
thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless i 
you, as he hath promised you !) i 

12 How can 1 myself alone bear your ^ cum-i 
brance, and your burden, and your strife ? : 

13 '^ Take ye wise men, and "■ understanding, and i 
Muiown among your tribes, and 1 will make them; 
^ rulers over you. . . i 

14 And 3'e answered me, and said. The thing which ; 
thou hast siioKen is good ./or us to do. _ ■ 

15 So 1 took the chief of your tribes, wise men, : 
and known, and made them heads over you, cai)tains : 
over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and cap- : 
tains over lifties, and captains over tens, and ofticers : 
among your tribes. ; 

16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying. 
Hear the causes between your brethren, and "judge 
righteously between every ^ man and his brother, and 
the stranger that is with him. 

17 Ye shall not f respect persons in judgment : hut 
you shall hear the small as well as the great; you shall 
not be afraid of the face of man ; for the judgment " is 
God's : and ^ the cause that is too hard ibr you, bring 
it unto me, and I will hear it. ; 

18 And I commanded you at that time ''all the: 
things which ye should do. ; 

19 And when we '" departed from Horeb, we went i 
through all that great and "^ terrible wilderness, which i 
you saw by the way of the "mountain of the Amorites, j 



as the Lord our God commanded us ; and we came 
to Kadesh-barnea. 

20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the 
; mountain of the Amorites, which the Lord our God 
I doth give unto us. 

I 21 Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the land 
; before thee : go up and possess it, as the Lord God 
i of thy fathers hath said unto thee ; fear not. neither 
i be discouraged. 

; 22 And ye came near unto me every one of you, 
i and said, We will send men before us, and they shall 
i search us out the land, and bring us word again by 
I what way we must go ui), and into what cities we 
; shall come. 

; 23 And the saying '' pleased me well : and I took 
; twelve men of you, one of a tribe : 
\ 24 And they turned, and went up into the moun- 
I tain, and came unto the valley of* Eshcol, and search- 
) ed it out. 

! 25 And they took of the ^ fruit of the land in their 
\ hands, and brought // down unto us, and brought us 
! word again, and said, Itis^n good land which the 
J Lord our God doth give us. 

> 26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but '' re- 
! belled against the commandment of the Lord your 
J God : 

! 27 x\nd ye murmured in your tents, and said, Be- 
! cause the Lord ' hated us, he hath brought us forth 
\ out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand 
I of the Amorites, to destroy us. 
^ 28 Whither shall we go up ? our brethren have 
j f discouraged our heart, saying. The people w greater 
i and taller than we ; the cities are great, and walled 
! '' uj) to heaven: and, moreover, Ave have seen the sons 
of the ' Ana kirns there. 

29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be 
\ afraid of them. 

30 The J^ORD your God, which goeth before you, 
he shall light for you, according to all that he did for 
you in Egypt before your eyes ; 

31 And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen 
how that the Lord thy Gocl "' I .'are thee, as a man 
doth bear his son, in all th.e way that ye went, until 
ye came into this i)lace. 

32 Yet in this thing ye did " not believe the Lord 
your Gotl, 

33 Who ° went in the way before you, to search 
you out a place to pitcli your tents in, in fire by night, 
to shcAV you by what ^vav ye should go, and in a 
cloud by day. 

34 And the Lord heard the voice of your words, 
and was wroth, and s\\'are, saying, 

35 Surely there shall " not one of these men of this 
evil generation see that good land, which I sware to 
give unto your fathers, 

36 Save "^ Caleb the son of Jephunneh ; he shall 
see it ; and to him will I give the land that he hath 
trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath 
t wholly followed the Lord. 

37 Also the Lord was angry ■■ with me 'for your 
sakes, saying, ' Thou also shalt not go in thither. 

3S Bui " Joshua the son of Nun, which '' standetb 
before thee, he shall go in thither : ^ encourage him ; 
for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. 

39 Moreover, your little ones, which ye said should 
be ^ a prey, and your children, which in that day had

\ A T ""that time the Lord said unto me, ''Hew thee

"^ come up unto ine into the mount, and make thee 

•^ an ark of wood : 

2 And ^ I will write on the tables the words that

3 And 1 made an ark of^ shittim-wood, and hewed 
two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up 
into the mount, havdng the two tables in mine hand. 

4 And he wrote on the tables, according to the first 
writing, the f ten commandments, which the Lord unwc-ds., 
spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the ^'^•^'^'^ 
fire, in the ^ day of the assembly : and the Lord gave fh^J;^! & 
them unto me. J-g '°' ^ '^ 

5 And I turned myself, and came down from the Acts 7, 38.

and "^ there they be, as the Lord commanded me.

11 And it came to pass, attheend of forty days and

The punishment of a false witness. CHAPTER 

re 13 Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt 
1.^^ ' put away the guilt of irniocent blood from Israel, 
^/ that it may go well with thee 
■ ^^' 1 4 H Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's "^ laiid- 
''^ mark, which 'they of old time have set in thine in- 
, 26 heritance, which thou shalt inherit in the " land that 

' the Lord thy God giveth thee to possess it. 
ai. 15 H One witness shall not rise up against a man 
22, for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sin- 

neth : at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth 
'• 2, of three witnesses, shall the " matter be ° established.

"' testify against him that ivhich is wrong ;

2g J troversy is, shall stand ''before the Lord, before the 

^priests and the judges which shall be in those days ; 
"^" 18 And the judges shall make * diligent inquisition : 

and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and 

hath testified falsely against his brother ; 

19 Then shall ye do unto him " as he had thought 
to have done unto his brother : so shalt thou put 
^ the evil away from among you. 

20 And those which ^" remain shall hear, and fear, 
^ „ „ and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil

CHAPTER XX. 

The priest's exhortation to encourage the people to battle. 

HEN thou '^ goest out to battle against thine 

enemies, and seest horses and chariots, and 

a people more than thou, be not afraid of them : for 

the Lord thy God is ^ with thee, which brought thee 

up out of the land of Egypt. 

2 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the 
e Num. 10, ^jattlc, that ' the priest shall approach, and speak unto 

the i)eople, 

3 And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, You 
approach this day unto battle against yoiu' enemies : 

not your hearts f faint ; fear not, and do ]iot 
t tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them : 

4 For the Lord your God is he that goeth w ith you, 
to fight for you against youi- enemies, to save you. 

5 And the '' officers shall speak unto the peoiile, 
saying. What man is there that hath built a new house, 
and hath '^ not dedicated it.^ let him go and return to 

f2Sam. 14, lils housc, Mcst hc die in the battle, and ^ another 
man dedicate it. 

6 And what man is he that hath planted a v'me- 
yard, and hath f not yet eaten of it ? let him also go 
and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, 
and another man eat of it. 

7 And what man is there that '' hath betrothed a 
M'ife, and hath not taken her ? let him go and return 
unto his house, lest he die in battle, and another man 
take her. 

8 And the officers shall ' sj^eak further unto the 
people, and they shall say, What man is there that is 
fearful and faint-hearted ? let him go and return unto 
his house, lest his brethren's heart f faint as well as 
his heart. 

y And it shall be, when the officers have made an 
'tTthlad end of speaking unto the people, that they shall make

CHAPTER I. 

The Lord appointeth Joshua to succeed Moses. 

NOW after the death of Moses ' the servant of the 
Lord, it came to pass, that the Lord ^ spake 
unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, 

2 Moses my servant is dead ; now therefore arise, 
go ovei this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto 
the land which" 1 do give to them, ei'ewtothe chil- 
dren of Israel. 

3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread 
upon, that have I given unto you, '^ as I said unto 
Moses. 

4 From the ® wilderness and this ' Lebanon, even 
unto the great river, the river ^ Euphrates, all the land 
of the Hittites, and unto the '' great sea toward the 
gojng down of the sun, shall be your coast. 

5 There shall not any man be able to stand f before 
thee all the days of thy life : as I was with Moses, so 
I will be with thee : 1 will ' not fail thee, nor forsake 
thee. 

6 "^ Be strong and of a good courage ; for unto this 
people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, 
which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 

7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that 
thou mayest observe to do according to ' all the law 
which Moses my servant commanded thee : turn not 
from it to ™ the right hand or to the left, that thou 
mayest || prosper whithersoever thou goest. 

8 This book of the law shall not depart out of" thy 
mouth ; but thou shalt ° meditate therein day and 
night, that thou mayest observe to do according to 
all that is written therein : for then thou shalt make 
thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good 
success. 

9 P Have not I commanded thee .? Be strong and 
of a good courage ; be not afraid, neither be thou dis- 
mayed : 1 for the Lord thy God is with thee whith- 
ersoever thou goest. 

10 H ' Then Joshua commanded the officers of the 
peoi)le, saying, 

1 1 Pass through the host, and cornmand the peo- 
ple, saying, ' Prepare you victuals ; for within three 
days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess 
the land, which the Lord your God giveth you to 
possess it. 

12 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and 
to hall" the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying, 

13 Remember the word which Moses the servant 



of the Lord commanded you, saying, The Lord your 
God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land. 

14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, 
shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on 
this side Jordan ; but ye shall pass before your breth- 
ren II armed, all the * mighty men of valour, and 
help them, 

15 " Until the Lord have given your bretlircn rest, 
as he hath given you, and they also have possessed 
the land which the Lord your God giveth them : then 
ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and 
enjoy it, which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave you 
on this side Jordan, toward the sun-rising. 

16 And they answered Joshua, saying, ^ All that 
thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever 
thou sendest us we will go. 

1 7 According as we hearkened unto Moses in all 
things, so will we hearken unto thee : ^ only the Lord 
thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses. 

1 8 Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy 
commandment, and will Miot hearken unto thy words 
in aU that thou commandest him, he shall be put to 
death : only" be strong and of a good courage. 

CHAPTER II. 

Rahab concealeth the two spies sent from Shittim. 

ND Joshua the son of Nun sent out of * Shittim 
two men to spy f secretly, saying. Go view the 
land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into 
•"a harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there. 

2 And "^ it was told the king of Jericho, saying. Be- 
hold, there came men in hither to-night of the chil- 
dren of Israel, to search out the country. 

3 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, 
** Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which 
are entered into thiiie house : for they be come to 
search out all the country. 

4 And the w^oman took the two men, and " hid 
them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but 
n wist not whence they ivere : 

5 And it came to pass, about the time of shutting of 
the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out : 
whither the men went I wot not : « pursue after them 
quickly ; for ye shall overtake them. 

6 But she had brought them up to the '' root of the 
house, and hid them with the ' stalks of flax, which 
she had laid in order upon the roof. 

7 And the men pursued after them the way to Jor- 
dan, imto the fords : and as soon as they which

and Tirzah. 

4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest,

I us an inheritance among our breihren. Therefore, 
\ according to the t commandment of the Lord, he gave

I 5 And there fell f ten portions to Manasseh, besides ^ars, 18.

^ 6 Because the daughters of Manasseh had an in- ^*-

NOW, * after the death of Joshua, it came to pass , 
that the children of Israel^' asked the Lord, 
saying. Who shall go ui) for us against the Canaan- 
ites first, to fight against them ? 

2 And the Lord said, *= Judali shall go up : behold, 
I have delivered the land into ** his hand. 

3 And Judah said unto " Simeon his brother. Come 
up with me into "^ my lot, that we may fight against 
the Canaanites ; and I likewise will go with thee into 
^thy lot. So Simeon went with him. 

4 And Judah went up ; and the Lord delivered 
the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand : 
and they slew of them in '' Bezek ten thousand men. 

5 And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek; and they 
fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and 
the Perizzites. 

6 But Adoni-bezek fled : and they pursued after 

W 



him, and caught him, and 'cut off his thumbs and his 
great toes. 

7 And Adoni-bezek said, ^ Threescore and ten 
kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut 
off, gathered their meat under my table : ' as I have 
done, so (iod hath requited me. And they brcHJght 
him to Jerusalem, and there he died. 

8 II Now the children of Judah had fought against 
Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the 
edge of the sword, and set the city on fire. 

9 And ™ afterward the children of Judah went 
down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in 
the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley. 

10 And Judah i| went against the Canaanites that 
dwelt in Hebron, (now the name of Hebron JDcfore 
ivas Kirjath-arba,) and they slew " Sheshai, and 
Ahiman, and Talmai. 

11 And from thence he went against the inhabit-

7 Gideon's army of two and thirty thousand is brought to

\ PT^HEN " Jerubbaal, (Avho is Gideon,) and all the 

5 _B_ people that were with him, rose up early, and 

5 pitched beside the well off Harod : so that the host \^l%,^us 

\ of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by f^^'^l'^f 

\ the hill of Moreh, in the valley. ch™6,3,'a3. 

2 And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people that '^""•'^''

dDeut.5,4 23 And the Lord said unto him, " Peace be unto i

24 Then Gideon buik an altar there unto the Lord, 

and called it Jehovah-shalom : unto this day it 25 yet 

in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.

plai.^im/^ Lord said unto him. Take thy*^ father's young bullock,

down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut

26 And build an altar unto the Lord thy God upon

Gal. 1,16. 
h Ps, 112,5

27 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and 
^ did as the Lord had said unto him : and so it was, 
because he feared his father's household, and the men 
of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did 
it by ^ night. 

28 And when the men of the city arose early in the 
morning, behold, the altar of Baal v^as cast down, 
and the grove was cut down that ivas by it, and the 
second bullock was offered upon the altar that was 
built. 

29 And the}' said one to another, Who hatli done 
this thing ? And \vhen they inquired and asked, they 
said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing. 

30 Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring S 
out thy son, that he may ' die : because he hath cast \ 
down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down \ 
the grove that ivas by it. \ 

31 And Joash said unto all that stood against him, \ 
"'9- Will ye "^ plead for Baal ? will ye save him ? he that \ 

will plead for him, let him be put ^ to death whilst it \ 
is yet morning : if he be a god, let him plead for him- \ 
self, because one hath cast down his altar. i 

32 Therefore on that day he called him || Jerub- i their

5 So he brought down the people unto the water :

15 And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling I 
of the dream, and the f interjiretation thereof, that he ] 
worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and | 
said, •* Arise ; for the Lord hath delivered into your ] 
hand the host of Midian. \

with ''empty pitchers, and 'lamps within the pitchers, s

19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that werel 
with him, came unto the outside of the camp, in the \ 
beginning of the " middle watch ; and they had but 
newly set the watch : and they blew the trumpets, 
and ^ brake the pitchers, that ivere in their hands. 

20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, 
and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their 
left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to

and of Gideon. ^ 

21 And they ^' stood every man in his place round \

6 And the princes of Succoth said. Are the ^ hands

should ^ give bread unto thine army ?

hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, 
then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wil- 
derness and with briers. 

8 And he went up thence to ^ Penuel, and spake 
unto them likewise : and the men of Penuel answered 
him as the men of Succoth had answered him. 

9 And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, say- 
ing. When I come again ' in peace, I will break 
down ■" this tower. 

1 Now Zebah and Zalmunna loere in Karkor, and 
their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all 
that were left of all the hosts of the children of the 
east : for there fell ' a hundred and twenty thousand 
"^ men that drew sword. 

1 1 And Gideon went up by the way of them that 
dwelt in tents, on the east of " Nobah and Jogbehah, 
and smote the host : for the host w as ° secure. 

12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna '' fled, he pur- 
sued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, 
Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host. 

13 And Gideon, the son of Joash, returned from 
battle "J before the sun was up, 

14 And caught a yoimg man of the men of Succoth, 
and inquired of him : and he described unto him the 
princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, even three- 
score and seventeen men. 

15 And he came unto the men of Succoth, and 
said. Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye 
did upbraid me, saying, Arc the hands of Zebah and 
Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give 
bread unto thy men that are weary ? 

16 And he took the elders of the city, and thorns 
of the wilderness and briers, and Avith them he 
t taught the men of Succoth. 

17 And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and 
slew the ' men of the city. 

18 Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What 
manner of men ivere they whom ye slew at ' Tabor ? 
And they answered, * As thou art, so were they ; 
each one resembled the children of a king. 

19 And he said, TWyiofre my brethren, even the 
sons of my mother: as the Lord liveth, if ye had 
saved them alive, I would not slay you. 

20 And he said unto J ether his first-born, " Up, and 
slay them : but the youth drew not his sword ; ibr he 
feared, because he was yet a youth. 

21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, "Rise t]iou, 
and fall upon us : for as the man is, so is his strength. 
And Gideon arose, and ^ slew Zebah and Zalmunna, 
and took away the ornaments that ivere on their 
camels' necks. 

22 H Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, 
^ Rule thou over us, both thou and thy son, and thy

NOW ^ Jephthah the ^ Gileadite was '^ a mighty 
man of valour, and he ivas the son of a harlot : 
and Gilead begat Jephthah. 

2 And Gilead's wife bare him sons: and his wife's 
sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said 
unto him, Thou shalt notinherit in our father's house ; 
for thou art the son of a f strange woman. 

3 Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt 
in the land of "^ Tob : and there were gathered ^ vain 
men to Jephthah, and went out with him. 

4 And it came to pass f in process of time, that the 
children of Ammon made war against Israel. 

5 And it was so, that when the children of Ammon 
made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to 
fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob : 

6 And they said unto Jephthah, Come and be our 
captain, that we may fight with the children of 
Ammon. 

7 And .Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did j 
not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father's house ? I 
and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in 
distress ? 

8 And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, 
^ Therefore we turn agaui to thee now, that thou may- 
estgo with us, and fight against the children of Am- 
mon, and be our ^ head over all the inhabitants of 
Gilead. 

9 And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If 
ye bring me home again to fight against the children 
of Ammon, and the Lord dehver them before me, 
shall I be your head ? 

10 And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, 
The Lord f be witness between us, if we do not so 
according to thy words. 

1 1 Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, 
and the people made him head and captain over them :

19 And Israel ^ sent messengers unto Sihon king of 
the Amorites, the king of Heshbon ; and Israel said 
unto him. Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land 
unto my place. 

20 But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his 
coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and 
pitched in ' Jahaz, and fought against Israel. 

21 And the Lord God of Israel delivered Sihon ^^ p^^^^ 3^ 
and all his peoi)le into the hand of Israel, and they se. 
smote them : so Israel possessed all the land of the x Num. an 
Amorites, the inhabitants of that country. 

22 And they possessed " all the coasts of the Am- 
orites, from Anion even unto Jabbok, and from the 
wilderness even unto Jordan. 

23 So now the Lord God of Israel hath dispos- 
sessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and l^^fau* 
shouldest thou iiossess it ? N«m.22,2v

thou not that the Philistines are ^ rulers over us ? what 
is this that thou hast done unto us ? And he said unto 
them. As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.

unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves. 

13 And they spake unto him, saying, No ; but we 
will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand : 
but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound 
him with two new cords, and brought him up from

But the children of Benjamin would " not hearken to 
the voice of their brethren the children of Israel 

14 But the children of Benjamin gathered them- 
selves together out of the dties unto Gibeah, to go 
out to battle against the children of Israel. 

15 And the children of Benjamin were numbered at 
that time, out of the cities, ^ tweiity and six thousand 
men that drew sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibe- 
ah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men. 

16 Among all this people there were seven hundred 
chosen men f left-handed ; every one could sling 
stones at a hair breadth, and not miss. 

17 And the men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were 
numbered four hundred thousand men that drew 
sword : all these were men of war. 

1 8 And the children of Israel arose, and ^vent up 
to the 1 house of God, and ' asked counsel of God, 
and said, Which of us shall go up ' first to the battle 
against the children of Benjamin? And the Lord 
said, Judah shall go up first. 

19 And the children of Israel rose up in the morn- 
ing, and encamped against Gibeah. 

20 And the men of Israel went out to battle against 
Benjamin ; and the men of Israel put themselves in 
array to fight against them at Gibeali. 

21 And the children of Benjamin came forth out i 
of Gibeah, and ' destroyed down to the ground, of the i 
Israelites that day, twenty and two thousand men. 

22 And the people, the men of Israel, " encouraged 
themselves, and set their battle again in array, in the 
place where they put themselves in array the first day.

and the iiers hi wait of Israel came forth out of their 
places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah. 

34 And there came against Gibeah ten thousand 
chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore : 
but they *^ xknew not that evil was near them. 

35 And the Lord smote Benjamin before Israel : 
and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites

36 So the children of Benjamin saw that they 2 peui, 12 
were smitten : for the men of Israel gave place to the e oh. e, 10

behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city as-

ground, of the children of Israel again, eighteen

26 Then all the children of Israel, and all the

behold, there came none to the camp from "' Jabesh-

9 For the people were numbered, and, behold,

16 Then the elders of the congregation said. How 
shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the 
women are destroyed out of Benjamin.? 

17 And they said. There must be an inheritance for 
them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not 
destroyed out of Isriiel. 

18 Howbeit we may not give them wives of our 
daughters : for the children of Israel have "" sworn, 
saying. Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin. 

19 Then they said. Behold, there is " a feast of the ^ ^^^^ ^^ 
Lord in Shiloh fyearl}^, in a place which is on the io.sl!29,\' 
north side of Beth-elj on the east side of the highway 
that goeth up from Beth-el to Shechem, and on the 1?"^;/' 
south of Lebonah. 

20 Therefore they commanded the children of Ben 
jamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards , 

21 And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh 
come out to "dance in dances, then come ye out of oex.is,2o 
the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the 2Sam.M4 
daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin. 

22 And it shall be, when their fathers or their 
brethren, come unto us to complain, that we will say 
unto them, || Be fa^^ourable unto them for our sakes , 
because we reserved not to each man his wife in the 
war 
ye should be guilty, 

23 And the children of Benjamin did so, and took 
them wives according to their number, of them that 
danced, whom they caught : and they went and re- 
turned unto their inheritance, and ^ repaired the cities, ^ '''' ^' ^' 
and dwelt in them : qch.17,6.

And a certahi man of ^ Beth-lehem-judah went to;

4 And ^ they took them wives of the women of

name of the other ^ Ruth : and they dwelled there

and the woman was ^ left of her two sons and her

9 So Hannah rose up, after they had eaten in Shi- 
loh, and after they had drunk : (now Eli the priest sat 
upon a seat by a post of the '' temple of the Lord :) 

10 And she ivas in bitterness of soul, and prayed 
unto the Lord, and wept sore. 

1 1 And she ^ vowed a vow, and said, O Lord of 
hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the aMction of thine 
handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine 
handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man 
child, then I will 'give him unto the Lord 'all the 
days of his life, and there shall no ^ razor come upon 
his head. 

12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying 
before the Lord, that Eli " marked her mouth. 

13 Now Hannah, she ^ spake in her heart ; only 
her lips moved, but her voice was not heard : there- 
fore Eli ^ thought she had been drunken. 

14 And Eli said unto her. How long wilt thou be 
drunken ? put away thy wine from thee. 

15 And Hannah answered and said. No, * my lord; 
I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit : I have drunk 
neither Avine nor strong drink, but have * poured out

that it slay us not, and our people : for there was a 
deadly destruction tliroughout all the city ; the hand 
of God was very heavy there. 

12 And the men that** died not were smitten witii 
the emerods ; and the cry of the city went up to heaven. 

CHAPTER VI. 

The Philistines take counsel how to send back the ark. 
ND the ark of the Lord was in the country of; 
the Philistines seven " months. 

2 And the Philistines called for the ^priests and the 
diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the 
Lord ? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his 
place. 

3 And they said, If ye send away the ark of the 
God of Israel, send it '^ not empty ; but in f any wise 
return him a trespass-offering : then ye shall be heal- 
ed, and it shall be '' known to you why his hand is 
not removed from you. 

4 Then said they. What shall be the trespass-offer- 
ing which we shall return to him ? ^ They answered. 
Five golden emerods, and fivegoldeii mice, accordi^ig 
to the number of the lords of the Philistines : for f one 
plague was on you all, and on your lords. 

5 Wherefore ye shall make images of your eme- 
rods, and images of your mice that ^ mar the land ; 
and ye shall ^ give glory unto the God of Israel ; per- 
adventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and 
from off'' your gods, and from off your land. 

6 Wherefore then do ye har^Ien your hearts, as the 
Egyptians and Pharaoh * hardened their hearts ? When 
he had wrought wf^oderfuUy among them, did they 
cot let the people go d they departed ? 

7 Now therefore n .ie a ^ new cart, and take two 
milch kine on which there hath come no yoke, and 
tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves heme 
from them : 

8 And take the ark of the Lord, and lay it upon 
the cart : and put the f jewels of gold, which ye re- 
turn him/or a tresj)ass-offering, in a coffer by the side 
thereof ; and send it away, that it may go. 

9 And see, if it goeth up b]^ the way of his own 
coast to Beth-shemesh, then he hath done us this great 
evil ; but if not, then we shall know thati^ is not his 



hand that smote us ; it was a chance that happened 
to us. 

10 And the men did so ; and took two milch kine, 
and tied ihem to the cart, and shut up their calves at 
home. 

1 1 And they laid the ark of the Lord upon the 
cart, and the coffer with tlie mice of gold and the ima- 
ges of their emerods. 

12 And the kine took the straight wav to the way 
of 'Beth-shemesh, f and went along the highway, 
lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right 
hand or to the left ; and the lords of the Philistines 
went after them unto the border of Beth-shemesh. 

13 And they o/" Beth-shemesh were reaping their 
" vi^heat-harvest in the valley : and they lifted up their 
eyes, and " saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it. 

14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a 
Beth-shemite, and stood there, where there was a 
great stone : and they ° clave the wood of the cart, 
and offered the kine a burnt-offering unto the Lord. 

15 And thePLevites took down the ark of the 
Lord, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the 
jewels of gold ivere, and put them on the great stone : 
and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt-offer- 
ings, and sacrificed sacrifices, the same day unto the 
Lord. 

16 And when the five lords of the Philistines had 
seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day. _ 

17 And these are the golden emerods which the 
Philistines returned for a trespass-offering unto the 
Lord ; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon 
one, for Gath one, for Ekron one : 

18 And the golden mice, according to the number 
of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five 
lords, both of fenced cities and of country villages, 
even unto f the great stone of Ahe], whereon they set 
down the ark of the Lord ; which stone remameth 
unto this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite. 

19 And he smote the men of Beth-shemesh, be- 
cause they had ^ looked into the ark of the Lord, 
even he smote of the people "■ fifty thousand and three- 
score and ten men. And the people lamented, be- 
cause the Lord had smitten many of the people with 
a great slaughter. 

20 And the men of Beth-shemesh said, ^ Who is 
able to stand before this holy Lord God ? and to 
whom shall he go up from us ? 

21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of 
*Kirjath-jearim, saying. The Philistines have brought 
again the ark of the Lord ; come ye down, aiid fetch 
it up to you. 

CHAPTER VII. 

They of Kirjath-jearira bring tlie ark into the house of Abina- 
dab, to keep it. 

ND the menof ''Kirjath-jearim came, and fetch 
ed up the ark of the Lord, and brought it into 
ithe house of "^ Abinadab, in the hill, and sanctified 
i Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the Lord. 
i 2 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kir- 
; jath-jearim, that the time was long ; for it was twen- 
i ty years : and all the house of Israel '^ lamented after 
the Lord. 

3 1 And Samuel spake unto all the house of Is- 
rael, saying, If ye do '^ return unto the Lord with all 
your hearts, then put away the ® strange gods and 
Ashtaroth from among you, and ^ prepare your hearts 
unto the Lord, and ^ serve him only; and he will 
deliver tou out of the hand of the Philistines,

10 Then said Darid to Jonathan, Who shall tell | 
me ? or what if thy father answer thee roughly ? 

11 H And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and I 
let us go out into the field. And they went out both 
of them into the field. 

12 And Jonathan said unto David, || O Lord God 
of Israel, when 1 have f sounded my father about to- 
morrow any time, or the third day, and behold, if 
there be good towards David, and I then send not 
unto thee, and f shew it thee, 

13 "The Lord do so and much more to Jonathan: 
but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will 
shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest 
go in peace : and the Lord " be with thee, as he hath 
been v.'ith my father. 

14 And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew 
me the kindness of the Lord, that I die not : 

13 But also thou shalt not cut off" thy kindness 
"from my house for ever : no, not when the Lord 



he hath commanded me to be there : and now if I 
have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I 

. pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he com- 

\ eth not unto the king's table. 

30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jona- 'J'le^^r"

32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and l'^-^^/- 
said unto him, ^' Wherefore shall he be slain ? what

33 And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him . 
whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of 
his father to slay David. 

34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fterce an-

CHAPTER I. 

David lamentelh Saul and Jonatlian with a song. 
OW it came to pass, after the death of Saul, when 
David was returned from ■* the slaughter of the 
a^isam.3(>, Amalckitcs, and David had abode '' t^^'o days ni 
pski.9,18. Ziklag; 

2 It came even to pass on the tliird day, that, be- 
hold, a man came out of the camp Irom Saul, with 
Ids'" clothes rent, and "^ earth upon his head : and so 
it was, whe]i he came to David, that he fell to the 
earth, and did obeisance. 

3 And David said unto him, From whence comest 
thou ? And he said unto him. Out of the camp of Is- 
rael am I escaped. 

4 And David said unto him, How w-entthe matter.'^ 
I pray thee, tell me. And he answered. That the 
people are fled from the battle, and many of the peo- 
ple also are fallen and dead ; and Saul and Jonathan 
his son are dead also. 

e Piov. 14, 3 And David said unto the young man that told 
lb. 4l 25,2. ],jj)^^ e jjq w kuowcst thou that Saul and Jonathan his 
son be dead ? 

6 And the young man that told him said, f As I 

happened by chance upon mount ' Gilboa, behold, 

Saul leaned upon his si)ear ; and, lo, the chariots and 

liorsemen f foilowcd hard after him. 

.,. o.»u,v ''' ^^^^^ ^^'hen he looked behind him he savAane, and 

rf^.^To/imi, called unto rne : and I answered, here am I. 

• 8 yVnd he said unto me. Who art thou ? And I an- 
swered him, 1 am ^ an Amalekite. 

9 He said unto me again. Stand, I pray thee, upon 
me, and slay me ; for anguish is come upon me, be- 
cause my life ?".s- yet whole in me. 

10 So I stood upon him, and '' slew him, because 
1 was sure tliat he could not live after that he was 
fallen : and I took the crown that was upon his head, 
and the bracelet that ivas on his arm, and have 
brought them hither unto my lord. 

11 Then David took hold on his clotlies, and 
'rent them ; and likewise all the men that were with 
him : 

12 And they ^ mourned, and wept, and fasted until 
even, for Said, and for Jonathan his son, and for the 
people of tlie Lord, and for the house of Israel ; be- 
cause they were fallen by the sword.

David's messengers arc sent to comfort Hanun the son of 

Nahasli. 

,^ ND it came to pass after this, that the " king of 
-l\. the children of Ainmondied,aad Hanun his son 
reigned in his stead. 

2 Then said David, I will '' shew kindness unto 
Himun the son of Nahash,as his father shewed kind- 
wess unto me. And David sent to comfort him, by 
the hand of his servants, for his father. And David's 
servants came into the land of the children of Ammon. 

3 And the princes of the children of Ammon said 
unto Hanun their lord, Thinkestthou that David doth 
honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto 
thee ? " hath not David rather sent his servants unto 
thee to search the city, and to spy it out, and to over- 
throw it ? 

4 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and 
shaved off the one half of their ** beards, and cut off 
their garments in the middle, even to their * buttocks, 
and sent them away. 

5 When they told it unto David, he sent to meet 
them, becfjusc the men were greatly ashamed : and 
the king said. Tarry at ^ Jericho until your beards be 
grown, and then return. 

6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they 
^ stank before David, the children of Ammon sent 
and '' hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and ' the Syri- 
ans of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king 
Maacah a thousand men, and of ^ Ish-tob twelve 
thousand men. 

7 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and 
all the host of ' the mighty men. 

8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put 
the battle in array at the entering in of the " gate : 
and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ish-tob, 
and Maacah, were by themselves in the field. 

9 When Joab saw that the front of the battle was 
against him beibre and behind, he chose of all the 
choice men of Israel, and put thern f in array against 
the Syrians : 

10 And the rest of the people he delivered into the 
hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in 
array against the children of Ammon. 

11 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for 
me, then thou shalt f help me ; but if the children of 
Ammon be too .strong for thee, then I will come and 
help thee. 

12 "Be of good courage, and let us play the men 
for our people, and for the ° cities of our God : and 
the Lord do that which seemeth him good. 

13 And Joab drew nigh, and the peoples thatioere 
with him, unto the battle against the Syrians : ajid 
they fled before him. 

14 And when the children of Ammon saw that the 
Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, 
and entered into the city. So Joab returned from 
the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem. 

15 And when the Syrians saw that they were smit- 
ten before Israel, they gathered themselves together. 

16 And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syri- 
ans that ivere beyond the river : and they came to 
Heiam ; and p Shobach, the captain of the host of 
Hadarezer, went before them. 

17 And when it was told David, he gathered all 
Israel togeth(,'r, and passed over Jordan, and came to 
Helarn. And the Syrians set themselves in array 
against David, and fought with him.

Tamar ; and Amnon the son of David Moved her. 

2 And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell ' sick for 
his sister Tamar ; for she rvas a virgin : and Amnon 
thought it hard for him to do any thing to her. 

3 Rut Amnon had '^ a friend, whose name ivas 
Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother * and 
Jonadab was a "^ very sublile man. 

4 And he said unto him. Why art thou, being the 
king's son, lean from day to day ? wilt thou not tell | 
me ? And Amnon said unto him, 1 love Tamar, iny i 
brother Absalom's sister. | 

5 And Jonadab said unto him, *" Lay thee dovyn on I 
thy bed, and make thyself sick : and when thy father \ 
comcth to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my | 
sister Tamar come and give me meat, and dress the | 
meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her I 
hand. _ j

therefore, and shew thyself a man : 

3 And ' keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to 
^valk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his com- 
mandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, 
as it is '' wrhten in the kiAV of Mo.ses, that thou mayest 
])rosi)er in all that thou doest, and whhhersoever thou 
turnest thyself; 

4 That the Lord may " continue his word, which 
he si)ake concerning me, saying, If thy children ^ take 
heed to their way, to walk ^before me in truth with 
all their heart and '' vyith all their soul, there shall not 
fail thee (said he) a ' man on the throne of Israel. 

5 Moreover, thou kno^^'est also ^vhat Joab the son 
of Zeruiah ""did to me, and what he did to the t'Ao 
captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abncr the son ol' 
Ner, and unto AuKisa the son of Jether, ^^'hom he 
slew, and ' shed the blood of war in peace, and i)ut

not his hoar head go down to the " grave in jieace.

and three iooking toward the south, and three looking 
toward the east : and the sea ?0(/>s'5d above upon them, 
and all their hinder i)arts ivere inward. 

26 And it ivas a ''hand-breadth thick, and the brim 
thereof was wrought like the brim ol' a cup, with 
flowers of lilies : it contained two thousand baths. 

27 And he made ten bases of brass : four cubits 
vxts the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth 
thereof, and three cubits the height of it. 

28 And the work of the bases was on this manner : 
they had borders, and the f borders were between the 
ledges : 

29 And on the borders that werebetween the ledges 
were lions, oxen, and cherubims : and upon the ledges 
ihere ivas a ba.se above : and beneath the lions and 
oxen icere certain additions raade of thin work. 

30 And every base had four brazen wheels, and 
plates of brass ; and the four corners thereof had un- 
dersetters : under the la\'er were undersetters molten, 
at tlie side of every addition. 

31 And the mouth of it, within the chajnter and 
above, ivas a cubit : but the mouth ihereoi' luas round, 
after the work of the base, a cubit and a half; and 
also upon the mouth of it ivere gravings with their 
borders, foiusquare, not round. 

32 And under the borders luere four wheels ; and 
the a.\le-trees of the wUtels ivere joined to the ba.se, 
and riie height of a v\heel was a cidjit and half a 
cubit. 

.S3 And the work of the wheels ivas like the work 
of a chariot-wheel ; their axle-trees, and their naves, 
and their felloes, and their spokes, lucre all molten. 

34 4nd Ihcre ivere four undersetters to the four 
corners of one base : and the undersetters ivere of the 
very base itself. 

35 And in the top of the base was there a round 
romiiass of half a cubit high : and on the toj) of the 
base, the ledges thereof, and the borders thereof, 7vere 
of the same. 

36 For on the plates of the || f ledges thereof, and 
on the borders thereof, he graved |1 cherul)ims, lions, 
and palm-trees, according to the proj)ortion of every 
one, and additions round about. 

31 After this manner he made the ten bases : all of 
them had one casting, one measure, and one size. 

38 Then made he '^ ten lavers of brass : one laver 
contained forty baths ; mic? every la\er was four cubits : 
and upon every one of the ten ba.ses one laver. 

39 And he put five bases on the right side of the 
house, and five on the l(;ft side of the house ; and he 
set the sea on the right side of t!ie house eastward, 
over against the south. 

40 And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, 
and the ' basons. So Hiram made an end of doing 
all the work that he made king Solomon for the house 
of the Lord ; 

41 The two pillars, and the ^«'o bowls of the chapi- 
ters that were on the top of the two pillars ; and the 
tw'o net-works, to cover the two bowls of the chapi- 
ters which were upon the top of the pillars ; 

42 x\nd fourhundred i)omegrai;ai.' sfor thetwo net- 
works, even two rows oi i)omegranates for one net- 
work, to cover the t^^'o bowls ot the chapiters that 
were f upon the pillars ; 

43 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases ; 

44 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea ; 

45 And the ' pots, and the shovels, and the basons: 




NGS. ornaments for the temple. 

\ and all these ve.ssels,whicli Hiram made to king Solo- 
\ mon for the house of the Lord, were of bright brass. 
\ 46 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in 
\ the * clay ground betvveen " Succoth and ^ Zarthan. 
^ 47 And Solomon left a!! the vessels ^ umveighcd, , 
^ because they were exceeding many : jieither was the j'; 
< weight of the brass found out. 
I 48 And Solomon made ^ all the vessels that jicr- 
f taincd unto the house ol'the Lord : ''the altar of gold, yichr.sa 
^and ''the table of gold, whereupon the "= shew-bread '^ 
was, z Ex. 37, 10 

49 And the candlesticks of f pure gold,'' five on the aEx.sT.ss.

i and the hinges o/go!d, both for the doors of the inner "''. ' 
i house, the most holy j)lace, and for the doors of the tul'^',Ti 
I house, to wit, o.f the temple. 

I 51 So was ended all the work that king Solomon 
I made for the house of the Lord. And Solomon 
I brought in the things which David his father had 'de- 
l dicated ; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, 
' did he put among the treasures of the house of the 
Lord.

12 Then spake Solomon, The Louu said ' that he 
would dwell in the thick darkness. 

13 i have .surely built "thee a house to dwell in, a 
setiied [dace lor thee to abide in for ever. 

14 .4nd tlie king turned his face about, and ^bless-

15 And he said, ^' Blessed ^ethe Lord God of Is-

father, and hath \\\\.\\ his hand fulfilled ?Z, saving, 

IG Since the day that I brought forth my peo[)le 

Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city otit of all the tribes 

of Israel to build a house, that '^ my name might be 

therein : l>ut 1 chose David to be over my i)eople 

'2. Israel. 

17 And it was ^ in the heart of David my father to 
build a house lor the name oi'the Lord God of Israel. 

18 A\\i\ the Lord said unto David my father, 
Whereas it was in thine heart to build a house unto 
my iiame, thou " dielst well that it was in thine 
heart : 

19 Nevertheless ''thou shalt not build the house ; 
but thy .son, that shall come forth out of thy loins, he 
shall build the house unto my name. 

20 And the Lord hath perlbrmed his word that he 
sp;d;e; and lam risen up in the room of David my 
father, and sit on the tlnone of Israel, as the Lord 
''])r()mised, and have built a house for the name of 
the Lord God of Israel. 

21 And I have set there a place for the ark. wherein 
is the "^ covenant of the L^okd, M'hicii he made \vith 
our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of 
Egypt, 

22 And Solomon ° stood before the altar of the 
Lord, in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, 

johTr,?^' and spread '' ibrth his hands towards heaven :

^ that thou i)romisedst him : thou spakcstalso with thy

with thee, O thou ' man of God ? art thou come unto 5 
me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son ? < 

19 And he said unto her, Give me thy s^nr. And l 
he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up iiito 5 
a '■' loft where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed. l 

20 And * he cried unto the Lord, and said, O Lord ; 
" my God, hast thou also brought '' evil upon the wid- i 
ow \^'ith whom ^' I sojourn, by slaying her son ? \ 

21 And he '- stretched himself upon the child ^ three | 
times, and cried unto the Lord, and said, O Lord I 
my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into 5 
him again. ? 

22 And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah, and the l 
soul of thechild came into him again, and he "revived 

23 And Elijah took the child, and l)rought him 
down out of the chamber into thoJiouse, and deliver

2 And it came to pass, in '' the third year, that 
Jehoshaphat the kingof Judah came down to the king 
of Israel. 

3 And the king of Israel said unto his servants. 
Know ye that "^ Ramoth in Gilead is '^ ours, and we 
he still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of

4 And he said Uxito Jehoshaphat, Wilt ^ thou go

phat said to the king of Israel, ^ I am as thou art, my 
people as thy people, my horses as thy horses. 

5 x4nd Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, 
2 Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord to-day. 

6 Then the king of Israel gathered the '' prophets 
together, aboutfour hundred men, and said unto them, 
Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I 



gilead to battle^ or shall we forbear? And he an- 
swered him, ^ Go, and prosper : for the Lord shall 
deliver it into the hand of the king.

shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that 
which is true in the name of the Lord ?

9 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and 5 
said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah. 5 

10 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the? 
king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on \ 
P their robes, in a void i)!ace in the entrance of the \ 
gate of Samaria : and all the prophets "^ prophesied \ 
before them. 

1 1 And Zedekiah the *■ son of Chenaanah made

Lord, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until 
thou have consumed them. 

12 And all the i)rophets prophesied so, saying. Go 
up to Ramoth-gilead, and * prosper : for the Lord 
shall deliver it into the king's hand. 

13 And the messenger that was gone to call Mi- 
caiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words 
of the prophets dechire good unto the king with " one 
mouth : let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of 
one of them, and speak that which is good. 

14 And Micaiali said. As the Lord liveth, what

25 And Micaiah said. Behold, thou shalt "see in

28 And Micaiah said. If thou return at all in peace, 
the Lord hath "^ not spoken by me. And he said, ^,p^"*-"' 
'Hearken, O people, every one of you. 

29 So the king of Israel, and ^ Jehoshaphat the

Elijah bringetli fire from heaven upon them whom Ahaziali 
sent to apprehend him. 

HHEN ' Moab ^ rebelled against Israel after "= the 
death of Ahab. 

2 And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his 
upper chamber tliat ivas in Samaria, and '' was sick : 
and he sent messengers, and said unto ihem. Go, in- 
quire of Baal-zebub, the god of ^ Ekron, whether I 
shall recover of this disease. 

3 But the angel of the Lord said to ^ Elijah the 
Tishbite, ^ Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the 
king of Samaria, and say unto them. Is it not because 
there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to incjuire of 
Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron ? 

4 Now, therefore, thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt 
not come down I'rom that bed on ^vhieh thou art gone 
up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah '" departed. 

5 And when the messengers turned back unto him, 
he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back ? 

6 And they said unto him, There came a man up 
iq meet us, and said unto us. Go, turn again unto the 
king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the 
Lord, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, 
that thou sendest to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of 
Ekron ? therefore thou shalt not come down from 
that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely 
die. 

7 And he said unto them, What manner of man 



icas /«e which came up to meet you, and told you these 
words ? 

8 And they answered him, i/e iw« a hairy ' man, 
and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And 
he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite. 

9 Then the king ^ sent unto him ' a captain " of 
fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him ; (and, 
behold, he^sat on the top of a " hill and he spake 
unto him. Thou man of ° God, the king hath said. 
Come down. 

10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of 
fifty. If I be a man of God, then p let fire come down 
frouj 1 heaven, and consume thee and thy filty. And 
there ■" came down fire; from heaven, and consumed 
him and his fifty. 

: 11 t Again also he sentimto him another captain 
of fifty with his fifty. And he ' answered and said un- 
to him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come 
down ' quickly, 

12 And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I he 
a man of God, let fire come down from heaven,and 
consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came 
down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. 

13 And he sent " again a captain of the third fifty 
with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, 
and came and " fell on his knees before Elijah, and 
besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I 
pray thee, let my f life, and the life of these fifty thy 
servants, be precious in thy sight.

the kina; of Moab 'rebelled against the khig of^ 
sraei. , \ 

6 And khig Jehoram went out of Samaria the same | 
time, and "^ numbered all Israel. ^ 

7 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of ^ 
Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled i 
against me : ' wilt thou go \^ith me against Moab to 5 
battle ? And he said, "" I will go up : I am as thou ort, 3 
my ])cople as thy jieople, mulmy horses as thy horses. I 

8 And he said, Which ^\■ay shall we goup ? And he \ 
answered, The way through the " wilderness of Edom . | 

9 So tlie king of Israel went, and the " king of J a- \ 
dah, and the king of Edom : and they fetched a com- 5 
pass of seven days' journey : and thei'e was no water i 
foi the host, and for the cattle f that fc^llowcd them. I 

10 And the king of Israel said, Alas! thatPtjie^ 
JiORD hath called these three kings together, to deliv- 1 
er them into the hand of Moab ! \ 

11 ButJehoshai)hatsaid,/6-i/<erenotherea''proph- 1 
et of the Lord, diat we may inquire of the Loud j 
by him ? And one of the king oi" Israel's servants an- ^ 
swered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, i 
which poured water on the hands of Elijah. < 

12 And Jehoshaphat said, '' The word ofthe Lord | 
is with him. So the king of Israel, and Jelioshapliat, j 



and the king of Edom, ' went down to him 

13 And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, f WhatJ 
have I to do with thee ? get thee to the prophets of 2 
thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And I 
the king of Israel said unto him, Nay : for the Lord \ 
hath called these three khigs together, to deliver them > 
into the hand of Moab. _ > 

14 And Elisha s:ud, ' As the Lord of hosts liveth, i 
before whom I stand, surely, were it not that " I re- S 
gard the presence of .Jehoshaidiat the king of Judah, i 
1 1 would not look toward thee, nor see thee. _ \ 

15 But now bring me " a minstrel. And it came j 
to pass, when the minstrel played, that the ^ hand of j 
the Lord came upon him. I 

16 And he said. Thus saiththe Lord, Make this j 
valley t full of ditches. i 

1 7 Forthus saiththe Lord, Ye shall notsec ^ wind, i 
neither shall ye see rain ; yet that valley shall be filled i 
with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your " cat- f 
tie, and your beasts. 

18 And this is but a light thing in the sight of the 
Lord : he will deliver the Moabites also into your 
hand. 

1 9 And ye shalP smite every fenced city, and ev^ry 
choice? city, and shall " fell every good tree, and stoj) 
all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land | 
with stones. J 

20 Tl And it came to pass in the morning, when the I 
'^ meat-offering was offered, that, behold, there came j 
water by the way of Edom ; and the country was | 
^ filled with water. l 

21 And when all the Moabites heard that the kings > 
were come up to fight against them, they gathered all j 
that were able to put on arm.our, and upward, and i 
stood in the border. I 

22 And they rose up early in the morning and the I 
sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the < 
water on the other side as red as blood : I 

23 And they said. This is blood : the kings are t 
surely slain, and they have smitten one another : now > 
therefore Moab, to the spoil. \ 

24 And when theyeame to the eampof IsraeUhe Is- * 
raelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they I

fled before them : but they went forward smiting the 
Moabites, even in their country. 

23 And they be^t down the cities, and on every 
good piece of land cast every man hisstoiie, and fill- 
ed it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and 
felled all the good trees : only in ^ Kir-haraseth left 
they tlie stones thereof; howbeit, the slingers went 
about it, and smote it. 

26 And when the kiirg of Moab saw that the battle 
was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred 
men that ° drew swords, to break through ecen unto 
the king of Edom : but they could not. 

27 Then he took 1| his eldest son, that should have 
reigned in his stead, and offered him/or a burnt-offer- 
ing upon the wall. And there was great indignation 
against Israel : and they departed from him, and re- 
tin-Jied to iheir own land. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 Elisha niulliplieth the widow's oil.... 13 He raiseth again her 
dead son. 
OW there cried a certain wornanof the wives of 
the "sons ofthe prophets unto Elisha, saying, 
Thy servant my husband is dead ; and thou knowest 
that thy servant " did fear the Lord : and the creditor 
is come to take unto him my two sonsto be ''■ bondmen. 
2 And Elisha ''said unlo her, " What shall I do for 
thee .' tell me : \vhat hustthou in the house.'' And she 
said. Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house 
save ^ a pot of oil. 

o Then he said, Go, borrow thee ^ vessels abroad 
of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not 
a {e\\. 

4 And ^^■hen thou art come in, thou shalt ^ shut the 
door upon thee and upon thy ' sons, and shalt pour out 
into all tho.se vessels, and thou shalt set aside that 
which is full. 

5 So she ^ went from him, and shut the door upon 
her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her, 
and she ' poured out. 

6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were ""full, 
that she .said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. 
And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. 
And the oil " stayed. 

7 Tlien she ° came and told tlie man of God : and 
he said. Go, sell the oil, and ^pay thy debt, and live 
thou and thy children of tlie '^ rest. 

8 H And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to 
■■ Shunem, where luas a great 'woman ; and she con- 
strained hin) to eat bread. And .so it was, that, as oft 
as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread. 

9 And she said ^ unto her husband. Behold, now, I 
perceive that this is " a holy man of God which pass- 
eth by us contiimally. 

10 Let us make a little chaml)er, I pray thee, " on 
the wall ; and let us set for him there ^ a bed, and a 
table, and a stool, and a candlestick : and it shall be, 
when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither. 

1 1 And it fell on a day that he came thither, and 
he turned into the charaber, and lay there. 

12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this 
Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood 
before him. 

13 And he said unto him. Say now unto her. Be- 
hold, thou hast been ^ carefid for us with all this care ; 
what is to be done for thee ? wouldcst thou be spoken 
for " to the king, or to the captain of the hn«;t ? And 
she answered, *"! dwell among mine own people.

unto her, Is it well with thee ? is it well with thy hus- .

the staff upon the face of the child ; but there was 
neither '^ voice nor hearing : wherefore he went again 
to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is " not

32 And when Elisha was come into the house, be-

33 He went in therefore, and ^ shut the door upon

34 And he went up, and '^ lay upon the child, and 
put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his

4 And one went in and told his lord, saying, Thus

drew sword : and Judah ivas four hundred threescore 
and ten thousand men that drew sword. 

6 But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among 
them ; for the king's word was ^ aborninable to Joab. 

7 And God was displeased with this thing ; there- 
fore he '' smote Israel. 

8 And David said unto God, I have 'sinned greatly, 
because i have done this thing : but now, I beseech 
thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant ; lor I have 
done very foolishly. 

9 And the Lord spake unto Gad, David's '' seer, \ 
saying, _ \ 

1 Go and tell David, saying, 'Thus saith the Lord, ^ 
I offer thee three things : ^ choose thee one of them, J 
that I may do 2^ unto thee. _ s 

1 1 So Gad " came to David, and said unto him, \ 
Thus saith the Lord, Choose thee < 

12 Either three years' ° famine ; or three months ] 
to '' be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword I 
of thine enemies overtaketh tJiee ; or else three days ; 
the sword of the Lord, even the pestilence, in the i 
land, and the angel of the Lord destroying throughout | 
all the coasts of Israel. Now, therefore, advise I 
thyself what word I shall bring again to him that \ 
sent me. _ < 

13 And David said unto Gad, I am in a greatstrait : I 
let me fall now into the hand of the Lord ; for || very | 
great are, his mercies : but let me "J not fall into the i 
hand of man. 5 

14 So the Lord sent pestilence upon Israel : and I 
there fell of Israel "" seventy thousand men. \ 

15 And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to de- \ 
stroy it : and as he was destroying, the Lord beheld, '

and let my lord the king do that lohich is good in his 
eyes : lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt-oflerings, 
and the ^ threshing instruments for wood, and the 
wheat for the meat-offering : I give it all. 

24 And king David said to Oman, Nay ; but I 
will verily "buy it for the full price: for I will not 
t'dke that which is thine for the Lord, nor offer burnt- 
offerings without cost. 

25 So David gave to Oman for the place ' six hun 
dred shekels of gold by weight. 

26 And David built there an altar unto the Lord, 
and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and 
called upon the Lord ; and he answered him from 
heaven '' by fire upon tiie altar of burnt-offering. 

27 And the Lord commanded the angel; and he 
'put up his sword again into the sheath thereof. 

28 At that time, when David saw that the Lord l^'"'^" ^^

CHAPTER I. : 

Solomon's choice of wisdom is blessed by God. ' 

ND Solomon the son of David ^ was strength- 
ened in his kingdom, and the Lord his God ivas 
'' with him, "^ and magnified him exceedingly. 

2 Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the 
captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the 
judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief 
of the fatliers. , 

o So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, 
went to the '^ high place tliat was at Gibeon* for 
there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God ^ 
which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had made in 
the wilderness. 

4 But the ark of God had David brought up from 
^ Kirjath-jearim to the place which David had prepared 
for if. : for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 

5 Moreover, the ''brazen altar that Bezaleel, the 
son of Ur', the son of Hur, had made, he put before 
the tabernacle of the Lord ; and Solomon and the 
congregation ' sought unto it. 

6 And Solomon went up thither to the brazen 
altar '" before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle 
of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt- 
offerings ujion it. ; 

7 In that ' night did God appear unto Solomon, 
and said unro him, Ask what I shall give thee. 

8 And Solomon said unto God. Thou hast shewed 
great mercy imto David my father, and hast made \ 
me to reign " in his stead. 

9 Now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David 
my father be established : for tliou b.ast made me king 
ovin- a people like the dust of the earth in " multitude. 

10 " Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I 
may ^go out and come in before this i)eople : for who 
can ''judge this thy people that is so great ? 

1 1 And God said to Solomon, Because this was 



" in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, 
or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet 
hast asked long life ; but hast asked wisdom and 
knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my 
peojile, over whom I have made thee king : 

12 ' Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee ; 
and I will give thee riches, and VA^ealth, and honour, 
such as * none of the kings have had that have heen 
before thee, neither shall there any after thee have 
the like. 

13 1 Then Solomon came /row /M.9.;Wmej/ to the 
high i)lace that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from 
before the tabernacle of the congregation, and "reigned 
over Israel. 

14 And Solomon * gathered chariots and horse- 
men, and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, 
and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in 
the chariot-cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. 

15 And the ^ king made silver and gold at Jerusa- 
lem as plenteous -AS stones, and cedar-trees made he as 
the sycamore-trees that are in the vale for abundance. 

1 6 A nd Solomon had '■ horses brought out of Egypt, 
and linen yarn ; the king's merchants received the 
linen yarn at a price. 

1 7 And they fetched up, and brought forth out of 
Egypt, a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and 
a horse for a hundred and fifty : and so brought they 
out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the 
kings of Syria, f by tfieir means. 

CHAPTER II. 

Solomon's labourers for tlie building of the temple. 
ND Solomon determined to build a house for the 
* name of the Lord, and a liouse ^ for his kingdom. 
2 And Solomon told out threescore and "^ ten thou- 
sand men to bcai burdens, and fourscore thousand 
to hew in the '^mountain, and "three thousand and 
i six hundred to oversee them.

THEN Solomon " began to build the house of the l\^'"^"

foj-e him s^veet incense, and for the '' continual shew- | the LORD " appeared unto David his father, in the 
bread, and for the burnt-offerings morning and eve- 1 place that David had i)repared in tlie threshing-floor 



ning, on the sabbaths, and on tiie new moons, and on 
the solemn feasts of the Lord our God. This is an 
ordinance for ever to Israel. 

5 And the house \'\hieli I build is great : for great 
IS our God ' above all gods. 

6 But '' who is able to build him a house, seeing the 
iieaven and ' heaven of heavens cannot contain him ? 
who am I then, that I shotild build him a hou.se, save 
only to burn sacrihce before him ? 

7 Send me now, therefore, "" a man cunning to

skill " to grave with the cunning meji that are with me 
in .Judah and in Jerusalem, ^^'hom David my father^ 
did " provide. \ 

8 Send me also p cedar-trees, fir-trees, and '^ al- \ 
gum-trees, out of Lebanon ; (for 1 know that tiiy ser- 
vants can skill to cut timber jn Lebanon;) and, be- 

Kingss, ]^q|(|_^^ r j^y scrvauts shall be with thy servants,

hewers that cut timber, twenty tliousand f measures 
of beaten wheat, and t^^'enty thousand measures of 

ll '^'°ss'. barley, and twenty thousand ' bathsof wine, and twen- 
ty thousand baths of oil. 

11 Then Huram the king of Tyre tan.swered in 
writing, ^vhich he sent to Solomon, Because the Lord 
liath * loved his people, he hath made thee king over 
them. 

12 Huram said moreover. Blessed bethe Lord God

God giveth to Solomon promises upon condition. 
OW when Solomon * had made an end of pray- \ according as I have covenanted with David thy father 
ing, the ^ fire came down from heaven, and con- 5 saying, 1 here shall not fail thee a man to he ruler ir 
sumed the burnt-offering and the sacrifices ; and the| Israel. 

'^ glory of the Lord filled the house. 5 19 '' But if ye ' turn away, and forsake my statutes 

2 And the priests could '' not enter into the house \ and my commandments, which 1 have set before you, 

of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled \ and shall go and serve other gods and worship them ; 

the Lord's house. \ 20 Then will I " pluck them up by the roots out of 

my land which I have given them : and this house, 
which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out 
of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a 
by- word among all nations. 

21 And this house, which is high, shall be an aston- 
ishment to every one that passeth by it ; so that he 
shall say, ' Why hath the Lord done thus unto this 
land, and unto this house ? 

22 And it shall be answered. Because they forsook 
the 1^0 rd God of their fathers, which brought them 
forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other 
gods, and worshipi)ed them, and served them : "" there- 
fore hath he brought all this evil upon them.

1 Solomon's buildings.... 17 He ietcheth g'old from Ophir. 

AND it came to pass " at the end of twenty years, 
wherein Solomon had built the house of the 
Lord, and his own house, 

2 That the "cities which Pluram had restored to 
Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the chil- 
dren of Israel to dwell there. 

3 And Solomon went to'' Hamath-zobah, and pre- 
vailed against it. 

4 And he built '^Tadmor in the wilderness, and all 
the ''store-cities which he built in ^ Hamath. 

6 Also he built ^ Beth-horon the upper, and Beth- 
horon the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and 
bars ; 

6 And *■ Baalath, and all the store-cities that Solo- 
mon had, and all the ' chariot-cities, and the cities of

years : for " tluee years they " walked in tlie way of ^ 
David and '^ Solomon. i 

1 8 And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daugh- { 
ter of Jerimoth the son of Uavid to wife, and Abihail i 
the danghter of EHab the son of Jesse ; I 

19 VVhich bare him children ; Jeush, and Shamu- \ 
riah, and Zaham. \ 

20 And after her he took '' Maachah the daughter s 
of Absalom, which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and I 
Ziza, and Shelomith. J 

21 And Rehoboam loved Maacliah the daughter of 1 
Absalom above all his wives and his " concidjines : I 
(for he took eigi\teen wives, and threescore concu- \ 
bines; and begat twenty and eight sons and three- | 
score daughtei's.) I 

22 And Relioboam made Abijah the son of Maa- | 
chah the chief, to be ruler ' amoiig his brethren : for | 
li e th G 2/ gilt to m a k (i i 1 i m k i n g. _ i 

23 And he dealt f wisely, and ^ dispersed of all h"'s | 
children throughout all the countries of Judah and 
Benjamin, unto every fenced city ; and he gave them 
victual in abundance. And he desired many wives. 

ciiaptp:r xh. 

KelioboRm, forsiikinij the Lord, is punished by Siiislialv. 
ND it came to pass, when Rehoboam had eslab- , 
lished the kingdom, and had " strengthened } 
himself, he ''ibrsook the law ol" the Lord, and ''all i 
Israel with him. 5 

2 And it came lo i>ass, that, in the fifth year of Re- i 
BTim.'4,io hoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against | 
ci Kings Jerusalem, *" because they had transgressed against j 
i'n.v.29,i2 the Lord, _ j 

aiHt.2,3 3 With twelve hundred ® chariots, and threescore \ 
071 thousand horsemen : and the -people were without I 
a Judg. 2 number that came ^vith him out of Egypt ; the ^ Lu- 1 
bims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethioi)ians. 

4 And lie took the ° fenced cities which pertained 
to Judah, and came to Jerusalem. 

5 Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, 
g Jer. 5, 10 and to the princes of Judah that were gathered to- 

getherto Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto I 
tliem. Thus saith the Lord, Ye have '' forsaken me, > 
and therefore h iv<3 I also left you in the hand of s 
Shishak. \ 

6 VVhereui)on (he princes of Israel and the king < 
' hinnbled themselves ; and they said, " The Lord is > 
righteous. 5 

7 And when the Lord 'saw that they humbled 5 
themselves, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, j 
saying. They have humbled themselves, therefore I i 
will '" not destroy tliem, but I will grant them some | 
deliverance ; and my wrath " shall not be poured out | 

i:_jer.s2,i2, upon Jcrusalcm by the hand of Shishak. j 

8 Nevertheless they shall be his servains ; that I 
tliey may know " my service, and the service of the ^ 
kingdoms of the countries. { 

9 So P Shishak king of Egyi)t came oi) against^ 
Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house i 
of the Lord, and the treasures of the king"'s house ; \ 
he took all : he carried away also the shields of gold ?

12 And when lie humbled himself, the wrath ofthe Before 
Lord turned from h-m, that he would not destroy /wV/t ^" 7p 
altogether : f and also in Judah things went well, ^^-v-*- 

10 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in lo^^'"'"' 
.[erusalem, and reigned : for Rehoboam was one and ^.'S.'" 
forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned ^ll-'l{\^ 
seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord Rom. iVi 
had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his 

' name there. And his mother's name was Naamah, 
an Annnonitess. 

14 And he did evil, because ^ he pre[)ared not his 
heart to "seek the Lord. 

15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are rer-i'.tx

1 3 That whosoever would not seek the Lord God 
of Israel should be " put to death, whether small or 
great, whether ^ man or woman. 

14 And they ^ sware unto the Lord with a loud 
voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with 
cornets. 

15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oatli ; for they had 
sworn '■ with all their heart, and sought him with their 
whole desire ; and he was found of them : and the 
Lord gave them rest round about. 

16 And also concerning Maachah the mother of 
Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, be- 
cause she had made an idol in a grove : and Asa cut 
down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the 
brook Kidron. 

1 7 But the high places were not taken away out of 
' Israel : nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all 
his days. 

18 And he brought into the house of God the things \ 
that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had s 
dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels. \ 

19 And there was no more war unto the ^ five and 
thirtieth year of the reign of Asa. 

CHAPTER XVI. 

Asa divertelh Baaslia from building of Ramah. 
N the " six and thirlieth year of the ! eign of Asa, 
Baasha king of Israel came \\\i against Judah, and 
" built Ramah, to the intejitthat he might let none'^go 
out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 

2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the 
treasures of the house of the Lord and of the king's 

'■ house, and '^ sent to Ben-hadad king of Syria, that 
dwelt at Damascus, saying, 

3 There is a league between me and thee, as there 
W(cs between my father and thy father : behold, 1 have 
sent thee silver and gold ; go, break thy league with 
Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me. 

4 And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and I 
sent the captains of his armies against the cities of j 
Israel ; and they smote "^ Ijon, and Dan, and Abel- 
maim, and all the "^ store-cities of Na])htali. 

5 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard it, that 
he left off building of Ramah, and let his work cease. 

6 Then Asa the king 'took all Judah ; and they 
carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber 
thereof, wherewith Baasha was a building ; and he 
built therewith Geba and Mi//|)ah. 

7 And at that time '' Hanani the seer came to Asa 
king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou 'hast 
relietl on the king of Syria, and not relied on the Lord 
thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria 
escaped out of thy hand. 

8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubimsa ^ huge 
host, with very many chariots and horsemen.^ yet, be- 
cause thou didst rely on the Lord, he delivered them 
into thy hand. 

9 Forthe'eyes of the Lord run to and frothrough- 
out the whole eart(<, to shew himself '" strong in the 
behalf of them whose heart is ])erfect towards him. 
Herein "thou hast done foolishly; therefore from^ 
henceforth thou sh«lt have wars. 

10 Then Asa was ° wroth with the seer, and put 
him in a ■' (jnson-house; for he teas in a rage with him 
because ol this thing. And Asa '^ oi)i)ressed some of 
the people the sixme time. 

1 1 And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, 
they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and 
Israel

exceeding great : yet in his disease he ■■ sought Jiot to

13 And li Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the

in the cities of Ephraim, Vv Inch Asa his father had

CHAPTER L 

The proclamation of Cyrus for the buildhig of the temple. 

NOW in the first year of'' Cyrus king of Persia, 
(that the word '^ of the Lord by the mouth of 
Jeremiah might be "fulfilled,) the Lord ''stirred up 
the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made " a 
proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and jJut it 
also in writing, saying, 

2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The Lord God 
of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth ; 
and he hath ^ charged me to build him a house at Je- 
rusalem, which is in Judah: 

3 = Who is there among you of all his people ? his 
God be ^ with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, 
which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord 
God of Israel (' he is the God) which is ^ in Jerusalem. 

4 And whosoever remaineth in any place where he 
sojourneth, let the men of his }>lace f help him with 
silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, 
besides the ' free-will-offering for the house of God 
that is in Jerusalem. 

5 Then rose up the *" chief of the fathers of Judah 
and Benjamin, and the priCvSts, and the Levites, with 
all them whose " spirit God had raised to go up to build 
the hou,se of the Lord which is in Jerusalem. 

6 And all ° they that ivere aboutthem strengthened 
their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with 
goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, 
besides all that was ^ willingly offered. 

7 Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of 
tlie house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had 
brought '* forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in 
the house of his *■ gods ; 

8 Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth 
by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and num- 
bered them unto ^ Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah. 

9 And this is the ' number of them : thirty chargers 
of ^oId,a thousand chaj'gers of silver, nine and twenty 
knives, 

10 Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second 
sort four hundred and ten, and " other vessels a 
thousand. 

11 All the vessels of gold and of silver loere five 
thou.sand and four hundred. All these did Shesh- 
bazzar bring up with them of the captivity, that were 
brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.

CHAPTER I. 

Neheniiali mourneth, fasteth, and prayeth. 

THE words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. 
And it came to pass in the month " Chisleu, in 
the ^ twentieth year, as I was in Shnshan tlie palace, 

2 That " Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he 
and certain men of Judah; and 1 ai^'ed them con- 
cerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left 
of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. 

3 And they said luito me, The renmant that are 
left of the captivity there in the '' yirovince are * in 
great affliction and reproach : the wall of Jerusa'em 
also is ' broken down, and the gates thereof are burnt 
with fire. 

4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, 
that ^ 1 sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, 
and ''lasted, and ' [)rayed before the God of heaven, 

5 And said, I beseech tliee, ^ O Lord God of 
heaven, the 'great and terrible God, that "" keepeth 
covenant and mercy for them that love him and ob- 
serve his commandments : 

6 " Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine e3^es 
open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, 
which I [iray l)efore thee no\\', day and "night, ibr 
the childrcni of Israel thy servants, ^ and confess the 
sins of the children of Israel, which ^\e have sinned 
^ against thee : both I and my father's liouse have 
sinned. 

7 We have dealt very corruptl}^ against thee, and 
have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, 
northejudgments, whicii thou comiiiandedstthy ser- 
vant Moses. 

8 "■ Bemcrnber, I beseech thee, the word that tliou 
commandedstthy servant Moses, saying, ^T/'ye trans- 
gress, 1 w'\\\ scatter you abroad among the nations : 

9 But z/" ye * turn luito me, and keep my command- 
ments, and do them ; though there Avere of you " cast 
out unto the uttermost part oftlu; h.eaven, yet will ] 
gather them from thence, and \\\\\ bring them unto 
the place tliat I have chosen to set my name there. 

10 Now these are thy ^servants, and thy jieople, 
Avhom thou hast redeemed by thy great poAVer, and i 
by thy ^^ strong hand. | 

1 ] O Lord, 1 beseech thee, let now thine ear be ; 
attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to tlie| 
pra3'er of thy servants, Avho desire to ' fear thy name ; \ 
and '^ pK\si)er, I pray thee, thy servant this (lay, and | 
grant him mercy in the sight of this man : For 1 Avas i 
the king's cup-bearer. \ 



CHAPTER 11. 

Artaxerxes sendeth Ni.'heiiiiaii to Jerusalem. 
ND it came to jiass in the month •' Nisan, in the 
twentieth year of •" Arta.xerxes the king, that 
wine was before him : and I took ui» the "^ wine, and 
gave it unto the king. Now I had not been before- 
time '^ sad in his presence. 

2 Wherefore the kiiii; said unto me. Why is thy 
countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick .^ this is 
nothing else but * sorrow of heart. Then I was 
' very sore afraid, 

3 And said unto the king, ^Let the king live for 
ever: '' Avhy should not my countenance be sad, 

\ Avhen il'.e city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, 
: lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with 
;fire.? 

; 4 Then the king said unto me, For what dost tliou 
; make request ? So I ' prayed to the God of lieaven. 
; 5 And I said unto the king. If it '' please the king, 
I and if th.y servant have found Ikvour in thy sight, that 
I thou wouldest ' send me unto Judah, unto the city of 
iniy fathers' sepulchres, that '" I may build it. 
i 6 And the " king said unto me, (the queen also 
'sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be? 
: and when Avilt thou retuni ? So it pleased the king to 
; .send me ; and I ° set him a time. 
' 7 MoreoATr, 1 said unto the king, If it i)lease the 
king, let ''letters be given me to the goA'ernors beyond 
theriA'er, that they mayconA^ey me over, till 1 come 
into Judah ; 

8 And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's 
forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for 
the gates of the palace Avhich "^ appertained to the 
house, and for the AA'all of the city, and for the house 
' that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, 
according to the ^good hand of my God upon me. 

9 Then I came to the governors beyond the river, 
and gave them the king's letters. (Noav thekmg had 
sent captains of the army and horsemen Avith me.) 

10 VVhen Saiiballat the ^ Horonite, and Tobiah the 
'■ servant, the "" Ammonite, heard of it. it ^ grieved 
them exceedingly that there Avas come a man to seek 
the A^^ellare of the children of Israel. 

11 So I came to Jerusalem, and was ^ there three 
days. 

12 And I arose ^ in the niglit, I and some fcAV men 
Avifh nie ; neither told I any man Avhat my God had 
put in my heart to do at Jerusalem : neither ivas there 
any beast with me. save the beast that I rode upon.

that they should not be opened till after the sabbath : 
and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there 
should no burden be brought in on the sabbath-day. 

20 So the mercliants, and sellers of all kind of

21 Then I testified against them, and said unto 



first-fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, 
out of the fields of the cities, the portions of the law 
for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the 
priests and for the Levites that waited.

CHAPTER I. 

2 Ahasueriis maketli royal feasts.... 10 Vashti sent ft)r. 
OVy it came to pass in the days of ''Ahasuerus, 
(this is Ahasuerus which reigned from India even 
unto Ethiopia, over "a hundred and seven and twenty 
provinces,) 

2 That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus 
■^ sat on the throne of his kingdom, which ivas in 
•^ Shushan the palace, 

3 In the third year of his reign, he made * a feast | 
unto all bis princes and his "^ servants; the^povver of ^ 
Persia and Media, the '' nobles and princes of the < 
provinces, being before him ; I 

4 When he 'shewed the riches of his glorious king- 1 
dom, and the honour of his "excellent majesty, many s 
days, even a hundred and fourscore days. \ 

5 And when these days were expired, the king \ 
made a feast unto all the people that were present in >. 
Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, seven \ 
days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace ; 5 

6 Where tvere white, green, and blue hangings, \ 
fastened with cords of fine linen and pur[)le to silver i 
rings and pillars of marble : the ' beds were of gold \ 
and silver, upon "a pavement of red, and blue, and \ 
white, and black marble. \ 

7 And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, (the \ 
vessels being diverse one from another,) and f royal 5 
^vine" in abundance, according to the state of the king. \ 

8 And the drinking was accordingto the law ; none i 
dirl II compel : for the king had "appointed to all the \ 
officers of his house, that they should do according to i 
every man's pleasure. \ 

9 A l.so Vashti the queen made a feast for the women 5 
in the royal house ■w\i\c\\ belonged io king Ahasuerus. 5 

10 liOn the seventh day, when the heart of the I 
king was ^ merry with wine, he commanded Mehu- ; 
man, Biztlia, riarlx)na, Bigtlia,aml Abagtha,Zethar, \ 
and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in \ 
the [)resence of Ahasuerus the king, > 

1 1 To bring Vashti the queen before the king, with | 
the crownroya), to shew the jieoplc and the princess 
her •! beauty: for she was fair to look on. | 

12 But the queen Vashti "■ refused to come ai the \ 
king's commandment by /n!5 chamberlains : therefore \ 
Avas the king very ^vroth, and his * anger burned in { 
him. ) 

13 Then the king said to the " wise men, which \ 
^ knew the times, (for so was the king's manner to- \ 
ward all that knew ^ law and judgment : I 



14 And the next unto him wrtsCarsliena,Shethar,

dom ;) 

•15 What shall ^ we do unto the queen Vashti ac- 
cording to law, because she hath not performed t!ie 
commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the cham- 
berlains ? 

16 And Memucan answered f before the king and 
the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done " \\Tong 
to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all 
the people that are m all the i)rovinces of the king 
Ahasuerus. 

17 For this deed of the queen shall come abroad 
unto all women, so that they shall '■'despise their hus- 
bands in their eyes, when it snail be reported, The 
king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be 
brought in before him, but she came not. 

18 Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media 
say this day unto all the king's princes, which have 
heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there 
arise too much contempt and wrath. 

19 If it please the king, let there go a royal com- 
mandment from him, and let it be written among the 
laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not 
altered, that Vashti " come no more before king 
Ahasuerus ; and let the king give her royal estate unto 
another that is better than she. 

20 And when the king's decree which he shall make 
shall be published throughout all his empire, (ibr it is 
great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands 
^ honour, both to great and small. 

21 And the saying f pleased the king and the 
princes ; and the king did according to the wojd of 
Memucan : 

22 For he sent letters into all the king's provinces, 
into every province according to the writing thereof, 
and to every people after their language, that every 
man ^ should bear rule in his own house ; and f that 2i 
should be '' published according to tke language of 
ev(;ry })eoi)le. 

CHAPTER II. 

Out of the clioice of virgius, a queen is to be chosen.

Vashti, and what she had done, and what was ''de-

6 M Novo in Shushan the palace there was a certain ^ 
^ Jew, whose name^WLs Mordecai, the son of Jair, the 
son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite, 

6 Who had l)een (tarried away from. Jerusalem with \ 
the ca|)tivity which had been carried away with '' Je- ? 
coniah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the 5 
king of Babylon had carried away. i 

7 And he f brought up Hadassah (that is Esther) i 
his uncle's daughter ; for she had neither ' father nor ] 
mother, and the maid ivas fair and beautiful ; whom I 
Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, I 
took Jor his own ^ daughter. j 

8 So it came to pass, when the king's command- i 
ment and iiis decree was heard, and when many s 
maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the \ 
palace, to the custody of negai, that Esther was i 
brought also unto the king's house, to the custody off 
Hegai, keeper of the women. j 

9 And the maiden i)!eased him, and she obtained 
' kindness olhim ; and he siieedilygave her berthings 
for i)urification, with such things as belonged to her, 
and seven maidens, v)hicJi were meet to be given her, 
out of the king's house: and he preferred her and her 
maids unto the hesi place of the house of the women. 

10 Esther had not shewed her people nor her kin- 
dred : for Mordecai had "charged her that she should 
not shew it. 

11 And Mordecai walked f every day before the 
coiut of the women's house, to f know how Esther 
did, and what should become of her. 

12 Nows when f every maid's turn was come to go 
in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been "twelve ^

CHAFIEK J. 

The holiness, and religious care of .Job for his children. 
HERE was a man in the land of "Uz, whose 
name was ''Job ; and that man was ' perfect and 
•^upright, and one tliat ''feared God, and '^ eschewed 
evil. 

2 And there were born unto him ^ seven sons and 
three daughters. 

3 His '' substance also was seven thousand sheep, 
and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of 
oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great 
household ; so that this man was the greatest of all 
the men of the east. 

4 And his sons went and ' feasted in their houses 
every one ''his day; and sent and called for their 
three sisters, ' to eat and to drink with them. 

5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting 
were gone about, that Job sent .md ""sanctified them, 
arnd " rose up early in the morning, and ofif(;red burnt- ; 
offerings according "to tlie number of them all : for; 
Job said, p It may be tJiat my sons have "^ sinned, ; 
and cursed God in their "■ hearts. Thus did Job: 
' continually. i 

6 TI Now there was a day when ' tlic sons of God i 
came to " present themselves before the Lord, and ; 
^ Satan came also among them. ; 

7 And the Lord said unto Satan, ^ Whence comest ■ 
thou ? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, j 
From ^"going to and fro in tJie earth, and from ^valk- i 
ing uj) and down in it. i 

8 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou con- i 
sidered my servant Job, that tliere is none like him j 
in the earth, a perfect and an u])right man, one that; 
feareth God, and escheweth evil ? \ 

9 Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth I 
Job fear God for nought ? : 



10 Hast not thou made a " hedge about him, and 
about his ''house, and about ail that he hath on every 
side ? Thoii hast blessed the *" work of his hands, and 
his substance is increased in the land : 

] 1 But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that 
he hath, and he will '^ curse thee to tlvy face. 

12 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that 
he hath 7,s '"in thy power ; ^ only upon himself put not 
forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the pres- 
ence of the Lord. 

13 H And there was a day v/hen his sons and his 
daughters were ^ eating and drinking wine in their 
eldest brother's house : 

14 And there came ''a mes.sejiger unto Job, and 
sai(l. The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding 
beside them ; 

15 And the Sabeans fell vponthem., and took them 
away ; yea, they have slain the servants with the 
edge of the sword ; and ' I only am escaped alone to 
tell thee. 

16 ''While he vxis yet speaking, there came also 
another, and said, ' The fire of God is fallen from 
heaven, and hath burnt up the sheep, and the ser- 
vants, and consumed them ; and I only am escaped 
alone to tell thee. 

17 While he was yet sneaknig, there came also 
another, and said. The Chaldeans made out three 
bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried 
them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge 
of th(; sword ; and 1 only am escaped alone to tell thee. 

18 While he ?««."? yet s))eaking, there came also 
another, and said, Tliy sons and thy daughters ivere 
eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's 
house : 

19 And, behold, there came " a great wind from

reprnveth his wife : CHAPTER 

house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are 
dead , and I only am escai)ed alone to tell thee. 

20 " Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and 
shaved his head, and "fell down upon the ground, and 
P worshipped, 

21 And said, •* Naked came I out of my mother's 
womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord 
'gave, and the Lord hath ' taken away ; * blessed be 
the name of the Lord. 

22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God 
foolishly. 

CHAPTER n. 

Satan obtaineth further leave to tempt Job 

AGAIN there was a day when the sons of God 
came to * present themselves before the Lord, 
and Satan came also among them to present himself 
before the Lord. 

2 And the Lord said unto Satan, I'rom whence 
coinest thou ? And Satan answered the Lord, and 
said. From going to and fro in the earth, and from 
'' walking u\) and down in it. 

3 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou con- 
sidered my servant Job, that there is none like him 
in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that 
feareth God, and eschewetlrevil ? and still he " hold- > 
eth fast his integrity, although '' thou moved.st me « 
against him, to destroy him "^ without cause. 

4 And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skinj 
for skin ; yea, "^all that a man hath will he give for 
his life: 

5 But put forth thy hand now, and touch his ^ hone 
and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. I 

6 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he ts in | 
thy hand ; but ^ save his life. } 

7 II So went Satan forth from tne presence of the ? 
Lord, and smote Job with ' sore boils, from the ^sole | 
of his foot unto his crown. f 

8 And he took him 'a potsherd to scrape himself | 
withal ; and he '" sat down among " the ashes. i 

9 Then said "his wife unto him. Dost thou ''still s 
retain thine integrity ? Curse God, and die. \ 

10 But he said '^ unto her, Thou speakest as one of I 
the ' foolisii women speaketh. What ! shall we re- 1 
ceive ' good at the hand of God, and shall we not 5 
receive ' evil ? In all this did not Job sin vvith his " lips. I 

1 1 II Now when Job's ^ three friends heard of all i 
this evil that was come upon him, they came every | 
one from his own ^" place ; Eliphaz the ^ Temanite, \ 
and Bildad the '' Shuhite, andZopharthe ^Naamath- ? 
ite : for they had made an appointment together to 5 
come to mourn with him, and to ' comfort him. > 

12 And when they lifted up their ej'es afar off, and l 
■^knew hin:; not, they lifted up their voice and wept;? 
and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled i 
dust upon their heads toward heav^en. I 

13 So they sat down with him upon the ground \ 
seven days and seven nights, and ^ none spake a word I 
unto him : for they saw that ^ his grief was very grent. ? 

CHAPTER III. I 

Job curseth the day and services of his birth. S 

AFTER this * opened Job his rnouth, and ** cursed i 
his day. I 

2 And Job spake, and said, I 

3 Let " the day perish wherein I was born, and I 
the night in which it was said. There is a man child \ 
conceived. i 

4 Let that day be '^ darkness ; let not God * regard \ 
it from above, neither let ^ the light shine upon it * 




n....l II....IV. He complaineth of life 

5 Let darkness and the » shadow of death stain it ; ««•''"■« 
let a "^ cloud dwell upon it; let the ' blackness of the 
day terrify it. 

6 As for that night, let ^ darkness seize upon it ; let 
it not be 'joined unto the days of the year ; let it not 
come into the number of the months. 

7 Lo, let that night be ■" sohtary ; let no "joyful 
voice come therein. 

8 Let them ° curse it that curse the day, who are i P'5-74, is. 
ready to raise up their mourning. mcb.i5,s4 

9 Let the ''stars of the twilight thereof be dark ; nisa.13,21. 
let it look for light, hut have "^ none; neither let it see „ w.g i». 
the dawning of the day : aKm »? 

1 Because it shut not up the doors of ■" my mother^s ^- '"°* ' 
womb, nor hid ' sorrow fiom mine eyes. q ladg.s, 

1 1 Why died I not from ' the womb ? why did ^^ 

1 noi " give up the ghost when I came out of the ''^'°■■^^^ 

belly .^ ■ sch.33,lT. 

12 Why did the knees prevent me ? or why the tch.io, i«. 
breas's that I should suck ? uEcci.?,? 

13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, 
I should have slept : then had I been at rest, 

14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, which 
built desolate places for themselves ; 

15 Or with princes that had ''gold, who ^ filled ,^..22,25 
their houses with silver : ^^^^ ^^ 

16 Or as a '^ hidden untimely birth I had "not been; ^'°'

and ' dig for it more than for hid treasures ; 

22 Which ■" rejoice exceedingly, andare glad when ' ^■''"'•^''^

23 Why is light given to a man whose way is " hid,

roarings are poured out like the waters. 

25 For the thing which I greatl)^ feared is come oLam.3,7

unto me. 

26 I was not in safety, neither had 1 rest, neither 
was I quiet ; yet trouble came.

T/ie destruction of the wicked. CHAPTER 

6 Even when I reuieiiiher I am afraid, and * trem- 
bling taketh hoH on my flesh. 

7 ^ Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, 
yea, are ^ mighty in power .? 

8 Their " seed is established in their sight with 
them, and their offspring before their eyes. 

9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the 
brsa.14,20. ' lod of God upon them. 

10 Their bull gendercth, and ''faiieth not; their 
cow ca!veth, and casteth not her calf. 

1 1 They send forth their little ones like ' a flock, 
iPs.144,13, and their children dance. 

12 They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at 
the sound of the organ. 

13 They spend their days in wealth, and " in a 
moment go down to the grave. 

14 Therefore they say unto God, " Depart from us ; 
for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. 

15 "What 7.5 the Almighty, that we should serve 
him ? and what profit should we have, if we pray 
unto him ? 

16 Lo, P their good is not in their hand : the coun- 
prov. 1, 10. ggi ^y^ ^i-g wicked is far from me. 

17 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out ? 
and hoiD oft cometh their destruction U])ou them ? 
God '^ distributeth sorrows in his anger. 

18 They are as ""stubble before the wind, and as 
chaffthat the storm carrieth away. 

19 God layeth uj) his initjuity for his children : ' he 
rewardeth him, and he shall know it. 

20 His e3'es shall see his destruction, and he shall 
'drink of the wrath of the Almighty. 

21 For what pleasure katli he in his house after 
nPs.s5,2s. him, whim the number ol"his months is " cut off" in 

the midst ? 

22 Shall ami ^ teach God knowledge ? seeing he 
judgeth those that are high. 

23 One dieth in his ^' full strength, being wholly at 
ease and quiet : 

24 His ^ l)reasts are full of milk, and his bones are 
moistened with marrow. 

25 And another dieth in the " bitterness of his soul, 
and never eateth with pleasure. 

26 They sliall lie down ''alike in the dust, and the 
worms shall cover them. 

27 Behold,"] knowyourthoijghts, and the devices 
whichya wrongfully imagine against me. 

28 For ye say. Where is the '^ house of the prince ? 
and where are the dwelling-places of the wicked ? 

29 Have ye not asked them that go by the way ? 
and do ye not know their "tokens, 

30 Tliat the wicked is ''reserved to the day of 
destruction ? they shall be brought forth to the day of 
wrath. 

31 Who shall declare his way °to his I'ace .? and 
who shall repay him ivhat he hath done ? 

32 Yet sliall he be brought to the '' grave, and shall 
remain in the tomi). 

So The clods of the valley shall be. sweet unto him, 
and every man sliall 'draw after him, as there me 
innumerable i)efore him. 

34 How then comfort }t me in vain, seeing in your 
ans^vers there remaineth ^ falsehood ? 
CHAPTER XXH. 

Elipliaz sheweth that man's goodness profiteth not God. 

THEN Elilihaz the Tcmanite answered and said, 
2 Can a man be ^ profitable unto God, as he 
that is wise may be profitable unto himself.?

PSALM I. 

The happiness of the godly.. ..The unhappiness of the ungodly. 

BLESSED is the man '■" that walketh not in " the 
counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way 
of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful : 

2 But his *= delight is in the law of the Lord ; and 
in his law doth he meditate day and night. 

3 And he shall be like a tree ''planted by the rivers 
of water, that bringeth fcrth his fruit in his " season : 
his leaf also shall not wither ; and wdiatsoever he 
doeth shall *" prosper. 

4 The ungodly are ^not so : but are like the *" chaff 
which the wind driveth away. 

Therefore the ungodly shall ' not stand in the 
judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the right- 
eons. 

6 For the Lord ^ knoweth the way of the right- 
eous : but the way of the ungodly shall ' perish. 
PSALM II. 

1 The kingdom of Christ.. ..10 Kings are exhorted to accept it. 

WHY do the heathen '^ rage, and the people ima- 
gine " a vain thing ? 
2 The " kings of the earth set themselves, and the 
rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and 
against his "^ Anointed, saying, 



3 Let us break their ® bands asunder, and cast e Luke 19 
away their cords from us. 

4 He that ''sitteth in the heavens shall laugh : the ^^^-^'"^ 
Lord shall have them in derision. 

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and 
^ vex them in his sore displeasure. 

6 Yet have 1 '" set my king upon my holy hill of 
Zion. 

7 I will declare the ' decree : the Lord hath said 
I unto me. Thou art my Son ; this day have 1 begotten 
\ thee. 

8 ^ Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen 
ybr thine ' inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the 

\ earth for thy possession. 

\ 9 Thou shrJt "" break them with a rod of iron , 

\ thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's ves- 

?sel. 

I 10 " Be "^^'ise now, therefore, O ye kings ; be in- 

\ structed, ye judges of the earth. 

I 11° Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice \\\{\\ 

\ trembling. 

\ 12 Kiss the Son, lest he be ^ angry, and ye perish 

Ifrom the way, when his wrarh is kindled but a 

I little. Blessed are all they that put their '• trust in

LORD God, to whom "vengeance belongeth; 
O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, sheAV 
thyself. 

2 Lift up thyself, thou ''judge of the earth : render 
a reward to the proud. 

3 Lord, how long shall the '^ wicked, how long 
shall the wicked triumph ? 

4 How long shall they utter a7id speak '^ hard things ? 
and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves ? \ should 

5 They ® break in pieces thy people, O Lord, and 
afflict thy heritage : 

6 They '' slay the widow and the stranger, and

7 Yet ^ they say. The Lord .shall '' not see, neither 
shall the God of Jacob regard it. 

8 Understand, \'e ' brutish among the people ; and, 
ye fools, when will ye be wise ? 



7 For he is our God ; and we are the people of his 
pasture, and the ' sheep of his hand. ^ To-day, if ye 
will hear his voice, 

8 ' Harden not your heart, as in the "" provocation, 
and as in the day of " temptation in the wilderness : 

9 When your fathers ° temi)ted me, proved me,

11 The Lord knoweth "the thoughts of man, 
that they are vanity. 

12 Blessed is the man whom thou " chastenest, O 
Lord, and °teachest him out of thy law ; 

13 That thou mayest give him rest from the ^ days

CHAPTER I. 

1 The use of the proverbs. ...7 An exhortation to fear God and 
believe his word. 

THE * Proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, 
king of Israel ; 

2 To know ''wisdom and instruction ; " to perceive 
the words of understanding ; 

3 To receive the instruction "^ of wisdom, justice, 
and juclgment. and^ equity ; 

4 To give ' subtilty to the simple, to the young 
man knowledge and discretion. 

5 A wise man will hear, and ° will increase learn- 
ing ; and a man of understanding shall attain unto 
v/ise counsels ; 

6 To imderstand a proverb, and the interpretation ; 
the words of the wise, and their ^ dark sayings. 

7 The ' fearof the LoRDZSthe beginning of knowl- 
edge : but fools despise wisdom and instruction. 

8 My son, '' hear the instruction of thy father, and 
forsake not the law of thy mother : 

9 For they sludl be ' an ornament of grace unto 
thy head, and chains about thj' neck. 

10 My son, if sinners "entice thee, "consent thou 
not. 

11 If they "say, p Come with us, let us lay wait 
for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without 
cause : 

12 Let us "^ swallow them up alive, as the grave ; 
and whole, as those that go down into the pit : 

13 We shall find all ■" precious substance, we shall 
"fill our hou.ses with spoil : 

14 Cast in thy lot among us ; let us all have one 
purse. 

15 My son, * walk not thou in the way with them ; 
refrain thy foot from their path : 

16 For their " feet run to evil, and make haste to 
shed blood : 

17 (Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of 
any bird :) 

18 And they lay wait * for their own blood ; they 
lurk privily for their own lives. 

19 So are the ways of every one that ^is greedy 
of gain ; which ^ taketh away the life of the owners 
thereof. 

20 * Wisdom crieth without ; she ^ utr.ereth her 
voice in the streets ; 

21 She crietli in the ' chief place of concourse, in 
the openings of the gates : in the city she uttereth her 
words, saying, 

22 '^ How long, ye simple ones, will ye love sim- 
plicity, and the scorners delight in their scorning, and 
fools hate knowledge ? 

23 Turn you at my reproof; behold, I will t pour 
out my Spirit unto you, I will make known my words 
unto you. 

24 Because I have * called, and ye refused ; I 
have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded ; 



25 But ye have ^ set at nought all my counsel, and 

I will 



would none of mv reproof; 

26 1 also will ^ laugh at your calamity 



mock when your ''fear cometh. 

27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your 
'destruction cometh as a whirlwind ; when distress 
and anguish cometh upon you ; 

28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will ^ not 
answer ; they shall seek me early, but they shall not 
find me : 

29 For that they ' hated knowledge, and did "not 
choose the fear of the Lord : 

30 They would "noneof my counsel; they despised 
all my reproof : 

31 Therefore shall they °eat of the fruit of their 
own way, and be ''filled with their own devices. 

32 For the turning away of the simple shall slav 
them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. 

33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell 
safely, and shall be "^ quiet from fear of evil. 

CHAPTER II. 

Wisdom promisetli godliness to her children. 
1 son. ifthoii wilt receive my words, and * hide 
my commandments with thee; 

2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and 
''apply thy heart to understanding ; 

3 Yea, if thou "criest after knowledge, and liftest 
up thy voice for understanding ; 

4 If thou '' seekest her as silver, and * searchest for 
her as for hid treasures ; 

5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, 
and ' find the knowledge of God : 

6 For the Lord ^giveth wisdom : out of his mouth 
cometh knowledge and understanding ; 

7 He layeth up ''sound wisdom for the righteous: 
he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. 

8 He kee[)eth the 'paths of judgment, and ^ pre- 
serveth the way of his saints. 

9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and 
judgment, and equity ; yea, every 'good {)ath. 

10 When wisdom entereth into thy heart, and 
knowledge is "" pleasant unto thy soul, 

1 1 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding 
shall keep thee ; 

12 To deliver thee from the way of the "evil man, 
from the man that speaketh froward things ; 

13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in 
the ways ° of darkness ; 

14 Who P rejoice to do evil, and delight in the fro- 
wardness of the wicked ; 

15 Whose ways are crooked, and they '' froward in 
their paths : 

16 To deliver thee from the 'strange woman, 
even from the stranger which ' flattereth with her 
words; 

17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and 
forgetteth the^covenant of her God.

and ' depart from evil. ^ 

8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to \ 
thy bones. \ 

9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with ? 
the " first-fruits of all thine increase : I 

10 So shall thy barns be filled with "plenty, and | 
thy presses shall burst out with new wine. j 

1 1 My son, despise not " the chastening of the Lord ; 
neither be weary of his correction : 

1 2 For whom the Lord '' loveth he correcteth, even 
•J as a father the son m ivhom he delighteth. 

13 'Happy is- the man that findeth wisdom, and the 
man that getteth understanding : 

14 For the merchandise of it is ^ better than the 
merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine 
So'd. ^ . . . \ 

15 She IS more precious than rubies: and *all the< 
things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto \ 
her. I 

1 6 Length of days is in her right hand ; and in her 1 
left hand " riches and honour. I 

17 Her ways are ways of ^ pleasantness, and alU 
her paths are ^ peace. \ 

1 8 She 15 ^ a tree cf life to them that lay hold upon I

19 The Lord ' by wisdom hath ibunded the earth ; \ 
by understanding hath he "established the heavens. I 

20 By his knowledge the '^ depths are broken up, j 
and the clouds drop down the dew. 

21 My son, let not them "^depart from thine eyes : 
kee|) sound wisdom and discretion. 

22 So shall they be ^ life unto thy soul, and grace 
to thy neck. 

23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way ' safely, and I 
* thy toot shall not stumble. s 

24 When thou '' liestdown thou shalt not be afraid ; I 
yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy ' sleep shall be I 
sweet. I 

25 Be not afraid of ^ sudden fear, neither of the | 
desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. j 

26 For the Lord shall be thy 'confidence, and « 
shall keep thy foot from being "taken. 



EAR, ye* children, the instruction of a father, 
and attend to know understanding. 

2 For I give you " ^ood doctrine, forsake you not 
my law. 

3 For I was my fadier's son, "^ tender and only 
beloved'm the sight of my mother. 

4 "^ He taught me also, and said unto me. Let thy 
heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and 
live. 

5 ® Get wisdom, get understanding ; forget it not : 
neither decline from the words of my mouth. 

6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee . 
' love her, and she shall keep thee. 

7 Wisdom is the ^ i)rincipal thing : therefore get 
wisdom : and with all thy getting get understanding. 

8 Exalt her, and she shall ''promote thee: she 
shall ' bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace 
her. 

9 She shall give to thy head '' an ornament of grace ; 
a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee. 

10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings ; and 
the 'years of thy life shall be many. 

Ill have taught thee in the way of wisdom ; I 
have led thee in "" right paths. 

12 When thou " goest, thy steps shall not be strait 
ened ; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. 

13 Take ° fast hold of instruction ; let hernoi go: 
keep her ; for she is thy ■• life. 

14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go 
not in the "^ way of evil men. 

15 Avoid it, pass not by it, f turn from it and pass 
away. 

16 For they 'sleep not, except they have done 
mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they 
cause some to fall. 

17 For they 'eat the bread of wickedness, and 
drink the wine of violence. 

18 But the path of the just ts as the * shining light, 
that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. 

19 The way of the ^vicked is " as darkness ; they 
" know iiot at what they stumble. 

20 My son, ^ attend to my words ; incline thine 
ear unto my sayings :

"|V'|"Y son, if thou be ^ surety for thy friend, if than

and forsake not the law of thy mother : 

21 *■ Bind them continually upon thy heart, and tie 
them about thy neck. 

22 When thou '^ goest, it shall lead thee ; when 
thou sleepest, it shall keep thee ; and when thou 
awakest, it shall talk with. thee. 

23 For (he commandment is ^ a lamp, and the law

24 To keep thee = from the evil woman, from tiie

CHAPTER VIi: 

Solomon persuadeth to a sincere and kind familiarity with 
wisdom. 
Y son, ' keep my words, and lay up my com- 
mandments with thee. 

2 Keep my commandments, and ''live; and my 
law as the ai)ple of thine eye. 

3 " Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon 
the table of thy heart. 

4 Say unto Wisdom, Thou art my "^ sister ; and 
call Under.standing thy kinswoman : 

5 That they may * keep thee from the strange wo- 
man, from the stranger i(;/iic/< flattereth with her words. 

6 For at the window of my house 1 looked through 
my casement, 

7 And beheld among the 'simple ones, I discerned 
among the youths, a young man ^ void of under- 
standing, 

8 Passing through the street ** near her corner ; 
and he ' went the way to her house ; 

9 In ^ the twilight, in the evening, in the black and 
dark night : 

10 And, behold, there met him a woman, with the 
' attire of a harlot, and ™ subtle of heart. 

11 (She is " loud and stubborn ; her feet ° abide 
not in her house : 

12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and 
p lieth in wait at every corner.) 

13 So she "• caught him, and kissed him, an J 'with 
an impudent face said unto him, 

14 7 /mi'e ' peace-offerings with me; this day have 
I i)aid my vows : 

15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently 
to seek tiiy face ; and 1 have 'fotuid thee. 

16 I have " decked my bed with coverings of ta- 
pestry, with carved ivorks, with fine linen of Egypt. 

171 have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and 
cinnamon. 

18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morn- 
ing ; let us solace ourselves with loves : 

19 For the good man is not at home, he is gone ''a 
long journey : 

20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and 
will come home at the day appointed. 

21 With much fair speech she ^ caused him to 
yield, with the ^ Hattering of her lips she forced him. 

22 He goeih alter her straightway, as "an ox goeth 
to the slaughter, or as a fool to the " correction of the 
stocks ; 

23 Till " a dart strike through his liver, as a bird 
'' hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for 
his life. 

24 Hearken unto me now, therefore, O ye children, 
and attend to the words of my mouth : 

25 I_>et not * thy heart decline to her ways, go not 
astray in her paths : 

26 For she hath cast down many wounded ; yea, 
many ' strong men have been slain by her. 

27 ^ H(.'r house is the way to hell, going down to 
the *■ chambers of death. 

CHAPTER VIII. 

Wisdom is to be desired for the blessedness it bringeth. 
*■ OTH not " Wisdom cry ? and Understanding 
'' i)ut forth her voice ? 

2 She standeth in the top of high places, " by the 
way in the |)laces of the paths. 

3 She ''crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, 
at the coming in at the doors ;

Of sundry moral virtues 

1 1 By the blessing of tlie upright the city is "exalted : 
but it is overthrown ^ by the mouth of the wicked. 

12 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neij^h- 
bour: but a man of understanding ^holdeth his peace. 

13 A tale-bearer ''revealeth secrets : but he that is 
of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter. 

14 Where no counsel is, the people ' fall : but in 
rNph.6,17. ^.jjg iKiultitude of counsellors ^/ie/e is safety. 
• 1 Kings 15 He that is ' surety for a stranger shall smartybr 

it : and he that hateth suretiship is sure. 

16 A gracious woman " retaineth honour ; and 
" eh. 31,30. g{j.Qpg j^g^ retain riches. 

1 7 The merciful man doeth good " to his own soul : 
but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh. 

18 The wicked worketh ^ a deceitful work : but to 
him that soweth righteousness shall be^ a sure reward. 

19 As righteousness " tendeth to life; so he that 
aMat.7,is. pj,sueth e\\\, puTsueth itXo his own death. 

20 They that are of a froward heart are ''abomi- 
nation to the Lord : but such as are upright in their 
way are "his delight. 

21 Though '^ hand yoin in hand, the wicked shall 
not be unpunished : but the "^ seed of the righteous 
shall be delivered. 

22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a 
fair woman which is without discretion. 

23 The desire of the righteous is ^ only good : hut 
the expectation of the wicked ^ is wrath. 

24 There is that ^ scattereth, and yet increaseth ;

it tendeth to poverty. 

25 ' The liberal soul shall be made fat : and he that 
watereth shall be watered also himself. 

26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse 
him : but blessing shall be upon the head of him that 
selleth it. 

27 He that diligently ^eeketh good procureth fa- 
vour : but he that seeketh mischief, it shall ^ come 
unto him. 

28 He that ' trusteth in his riches shall fall : but the 
righteous shall "" flourish as a branch. 

29 He that ° troubleth his own house shall inherit 
the wind : and the fool shall be ° servant to the wise 
of heart. 

30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life ; and 
hethat Pyvinneth souls ?5 wise, 

31 Behold, the righteous shall be ^ recompensed in 
the earth : ' much more the wicked and the sinner. 

CHAPTER XII. 
HOSOloveth instruction " loveth knowledge: 
but he that hateth reproof is ^ brutish. 

2 A good 7nan obtaineth favour of the Lord : but 
a man of "^ wicked devices will he condemn. 

3 A man shall not be established '^ by wickedness: 
but the root of the righteous shall ®not be moved. 

4 ' A virtuous woman ?'.s- a crown to her husband : 
but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his 
bones. 

5 The thoughts of the righteous are ^ right : but the 
counsels of the wicked are *" deceit. 

6 The words of the wicked are to 'lie in wait for

11 The rich man is wise ' in his own conceit ; but 
the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. 

12 When righteous men do "' rejoice, there w great \ 
glory : but when the wicked rise, a man is " hidden. \ 

13 Hethat°covereth his sins shall not prosper: but \ 
whosot'confessethand forsaketh/Ziemshall have mercy. \ 

14 Haiipy is the man that '^ feareth always : but lie \ 
that Miardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. 

15 As a 'roaring lion, and a ranging bear ; so is ' a 
wicked ruler over the poor people. 

16 The prince that wanteth understanding ts also 
a great oppressor : but he that hatcth covetousness « 
shall prolong his days. \ 

17 A man that doth violence to the blood of any t 
person shall flee to the pit ; lei no man stay him. 5 

18 W^hoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but s 
he that is " |)erverse in his ways shall fall at once. s 

19 He that tilleth his land shall have "" plenty of | 
bread : but he that followeth dihex \mn persons shall \ 
have ^ poverty enough. > 

20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings : but | 
he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. 5 

21 To have respect of persons is not good ; for, for \ 
A piece of bread that man will transgress. \ 

22 He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and \ 
' considereth not that poverty shall come upon him. 

23 He that * rebuketh a man, afterwards shall find 
more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue. 

24 Vvhoso robbeth his father or his mother, and 
saith, It is no transgression ; the same is the com- 
panion of a destroyer. 

25 He that is ofa proud heart stirreth up strife : but 
he that ''i)uttethhistrust in the Lord shall be made fat. 

26 He that " trusteth in his own heart is a fool : but 
whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. 

27 He that giveth unto the poor shall "^ not lack : 
but he that hideth his eyes shall have nianyacurse. 

28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves : 
but when they perish, the righteous " increase. 



'' spreadeth ^• 
a net for his feet. _ _ ^"°''''' 

6 In the transgression of ari evil man there is a ^hos. s. i 
snare : but the righteous doth ' sing and rejoice. 

7 The righteous ''considereth the cause of the poor: 
but the wicked regardeth not to know it. 

8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare : but wise 
' men turn away wrath. 

9 y/'a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, 
*" whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest. 

10 The blood-thirsty "hate the upright: but the 
just seek his soul. 

I 1 1 A fool uttereth " all his mind : but a wise man 
\ keei)eth it in till afterwards. 

I 12 If a ruler hearken •'to lies, all his servants are gfo."'*'""' 
I wicked. 

\ 13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: 
f the Lord '' lighteneth both their eyes. 
I 14 The king that "" faithfully judgeth the poor, his 
5 throne shall be established for ever, 
I 15 The rod and reproof give wisdom : but a child 
'left to himself hv'ingeih his mother to shame. 

16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression 
increaseth : but the righteous shall see their ^ fall. 

17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest • 
yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. 

18 Where there 2S no vision, the i)eople " perish : "co"' 4"^ 
but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. 

19 A servant will ^ not be corrected by words : for 
though he ^ understand, he will not answer. 

20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his \vords ? ^^ 
there is more hope of a fool than of him. 

21 He that ^delicately bringeth uj) his servant from 
a child, shall have him become his son at the length. 

22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious 
man aboundeth in transgression. 

23 A man's pride shall bring him "low: but honour ^^Acts 12, 
shall uphold the humble in spirit. Rev.9,20. 

24 Whoso is "partner with athiefhateth his own bRev.18,4

CHAPTER I. ; 

The Preacher slieweth th;it all hiimaii courses are vain. 
1H£ words of the Preacher, the son of David, 
* king of Jerusaleiii. 

2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of 
vanities; ''all w vanity. 

3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which 
he "' taketh under the sun .^ 

4 One generation passeth away, and another ge- 
neiation cometh. : but the ''earth abideth for ever. 

5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, 
e Ps. 19,5. and '' hasteth to his i)lace where he arose. 

6 Tlie wind goeth toward the south, and turneth 
about unto the north : it ^ whirleth about continu- 
ally ; and the wind returneth again according to his 
circuits. 

7 All the rivers run into the sea ; yet the sea is not 
full : ur.to the [)lace from whence the rivers come, 
thither they ^ return again. 

8 All things are full of labour, man cannot utter 
it : the '' eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear 
filled w'llh hearing. 

9 The tiling that hath been, it is that which shall 
be ; and that which is doiie, is that v,hich shaii be 
tlone : and there is no ' Jiew lldng under the sun. 

10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, 
Sec, ^ this is new ? it hath been already of old time, 
which was before us. 

1 1 There is ' no remembrance of former things ; 
neither shall there be anij remembrance of things 
that are to come with those that shall come after. 

12 ^ " I the Preacher was king over Israel in Je- 
rusalem : 

13 And I " gave my heart to seek and search out 
by wisdom concerning "ath/i,'ftg.s- that are done under 
heaven : this sore travail hath God given to the sons 
of man, to be exercised tiierewith. 

14 I have p seen all the vyorks that are done under 
the smi ; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation ol" 
spirit. 

15 Thaiwhichis ^crooked cannot be madestraight; 
and that which is wanting cannot be numbered. 

161 comn^uned with mine own heart, saying, Lo, 
I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wis- 
dom than all they that have been before me in Jeru- 
salem ; yea, my heart had "" great experience of wis- 
dom and knowledge. 

17 And I ' gave my heart to know wisdom, and to 
know ' madness and folly : I perceived that this also 
is vexation of spirit. 

18 For in much wisdom is much " grief; and lie 
that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. 

CHAPTER II. 

The vanity of human courses in the works of pleasure 
SAIU^'in mine heart, Go to now, I wil! prove thee 
with mirth ; thereforeenjoy pleasure; and, behold, 
this also is ^ vanit>. 

2 I said " of laughter, It is mad : and of mirth, 
Wiiat doeth it ? 

3 1 sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, 
("^ yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom,) and to lay 
hold on folly, till I might see what icas that good for 
the sons of men which they should do mider the 
heaven all the days of their life. 

4 I " made me great works; I builded me Hiouses; 
I planted me vineyards ;

5 I made me gardens and ^orchards, and I planted 
trees in them " of all kind o/" fruits ; 

6 I made me ' pools of water, to water therewith 
the wood that bringeth forth trees ; 

7 i got me servants and maidens, and had servants 
born in my house ; also I had *" great possessions of 
great and small cuttle above all that were in Jerusa- 
lem before me ; 

8 1 gathered me also silver and gold, and the pecu- 
liar treasiH'e of kings and of the provinces ; I gat me 
men-singers and women-singers, and the delights of 
the sons of men, as ' musical instruments, and that 
of all sorts. 

9 So 1 wa.s great, and increased more than all that 
were before me in Jerusalem : also my wisd(im " re- 
mained with me. 

10 And wliatsoever " mine eyes desired I kept not 
from them ; 1 withheld net my heart iVom any joy : 
for ° my heart rejoiced in all my labour : and this was 
n)y portion of all my labour. 

1 1 Then I ^ looked on all the works that my hands 
had ^^■rofught, and ontiie labour that I had laboured 
to do : and, behold, all ivas vanity and vexation of 
spirit, and there was '^ no profit under the sun. 

J 2 And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and 
■"madness, and folly : for what can the man do that 
comcth ' after the king? even that which hath been 
already done. 

1 3 Then I saw that ' wisdom excelleth folly, as far 

; as light excelleth darkness. 

; 14 The wise man's eyes are in his head, but the 

: fool walketh in darkness : and 1 myself perceived also 

' that " one event happeneth to them all. 

15 Then said I in my heart. As it happeneth to the 
fool, so it happeneth even to me: and why was I then 

; " more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also 

: is vanity. 

i 16 For there is no remembrance of the wise more 

: than of the fool for ever ; seeing that which now /.s, in 

i the days to come shall be ^' forgotten. And how 

i dieth the wise 7nan? '"■ As the fool. 

■ 1 7 Therefore I " hated life ; because the work that 
i is wrought underthe sun is grievous unto me ; for all

1 The church's love unto Christ....5 Slie confesseth her 
defoiiniry. 

THE ^ Song of songs, which is Solomon's. 
2 Let " him kissme witli the kisses of his mouth : 
for thy " love is better than wine. 

3 Because of the '' savour of thy good ointments, 
thy ^ name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do 
the virgins love thee. 

4 Draw me, we will ^ run after thee. The King 
hath brought me into his ^ chambers : we will be glad 
and rejoice in thee ; we will remember thy love more 
than wine : the upright love thee. 

5 I am black, but '' comely, Oye daughters of Je- 
rusalem ; as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of 
Solomon. 

6 Look not u|)on me, because I rtm 'black, bpcaii.se 
the sun hath look(!d upon me : my Siiother's children 
were angry with me ; they made me the keeper of 
the vineyards ; but mine own vineyard have 1 not 
kept. 

7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where 
thou ' feedest, where thou makest thii flock to rest at 
noon : for why should i be as one thatturneth aside 
by the Hocks of thy companions? 

8 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, 
go thy way forth by the "" footsteps of the flock, and 
feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents. 

9 I have compared thee, O "my love, to a company 
of horses in Pharaoh's ° chariots. 

1 Tiiy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy 
neck with p chains of gold. 

1 1 *" We will make thee borders of gold, with studs 
of silver. 

12 While the King.sz7^e^A at his 'table, my spike- 
nard si^ndeth forth the smell theieof. 

13 A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; 
he shall lie all night Mietwixt my breasts. 

14 My beloved is untome «6acluster of * camphire 
in the vineyards of En-gedi. 

15 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou 
art foir, thon " hast doves' eyes. 

IB Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: 
also ^ our bed is green. 

17 The y beams of our house are cedar, and our 
rafters of fir. 

CHAPTER n. 

The mutual love of Christ and his church. 

I A/Wihe rose of Sharon, and the lily of the 'valleys. 
2 As die lily ^ among thorns, so is my love among 
the daughters. 

3 As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, 
so is my neioved among the sons. 1 sat dovyn under 
his shadow with great delight, ' and his fruit tms 
sweet to my taste. 



4 He brought me to the banqueting-house, and his 
banner over me was "^ love. 

5 Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples ; 
for I am " sick of love. 

6 His ^ left hand is under my head, and his right 
hand doth embrace me. 

7 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by 
the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye ' stir 
not up, nor awake my love, till he please. 

8 The '■ voice of my beloved ! behold, he ' cometh 
leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. 

9 My beloved is Jike a roe, or a young hart: behold, 
he standeth behind " our wall, he looketh forth at the 
window, shewing himself through the lattice. 

10 My beloved s|)ake, and said unto me, Rise up, 
my love, my fair one, and ' come away. 

1 1 For, lo, the " winter is past, the rain is over antZ 
gone ; 

12 The flowers appear on the earth ; the time of 
the " singing of birds is come, and the voice of the 
turtle is heard in our land. 

13 The fig-tree putteth forth her green figs, and the 
vines with °the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, 
my love, my fair one, and come away. 

14 H O my dove, that art in the p clefts of the rock, 
in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy coun- 
tenance, let me hear thy voice ; for sweet is thy 
voice, and thy countenance is comely. 

15 Take us the "^ foxes, the ' little foxes, that spoil 
the vines : for our vines have tender grapes. 

1 6 11 My beloved is ' mine, and 1 am his : he feed- 
eth among the lilies. 

17 Until the day f break, and the shadows flee 
away, turn, my beloved ; and be thou like a roe, or a 
young hart, u[)on the mountains of VBether. 

CHAPTER HI. 

The church's fight and victory in temptation. 

BY night on * my bed I sought him whom my soul 
loveth: I sought him, luit I found him not. 

2 1 will rise row, and ''go about the city ; in the 
streets, and in the broad ways, 1 will seek him whom 
my soul loveth : I sought him, but I found him not. 

3 The " wat'^hmen that go about the city found me : 
to whom I said, "^ Saw ye him whom my soul loveth? 

4 ft rvas but a little that 1 passed from them, but 1 
found him whom my soul loveth : I held him, and 
would ^ not let him go, until I had brought him into 
my mother's house, into the chamber of her that 
' conceived me. 

5 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by 
the roes, and by the hinds of the fielil, that ye stir not 
uj), nor j'wake ray/ love till he please.

for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, 
I the oppressors are consumed out of the land. 

5 And in mercy shall the throne be established ; 

and he shall f sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of 

David, judging and seeking ''judgment, and hasting 

righteousness. 
< 6 We have heard of the pride of Moab ; he is 
5 * very proud : even of his haughtiness, and his pride, 
\ and his wrath : hut his '' lies shall not be so. 
\ 7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one 

shall howl : for the ' foundations of Kir-hareseth shall 

ye mourn ; surely they are stricken. 

8 For the fields of Heshbon "" languish, and the vine 
of Sibmah : the lords of the heathen have broken 
down the principal plants thereof, they are come even 
unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness ; 
her branches are stretched out, they are gone over 
the sea : 

9 Therefore I will " bewail with the weeping of 
Jazer the vine of Sibmah : I will water thee with my 
tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh ; for the shouting for 
thy summer-fruits, and for thy harvest, is fallen. 

10 And ° gladness is taken away, and joy out of 
the plentiful field ; and in the vineyards there shall 
be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the 
treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses ; I 
have made tkeir vintage-iihonlxng to cease. 

1 1 Wherefore my bowels shall sound like a p harp 



" whole earth ; and this is the hand that is stretched 
out upon all the nations. 

27 For the Lord of hosts hath "purposed, and 
who shall disannul it ? and his hand is stretched out, 
and who shall turn it back ? 

28 Jn the Pyear that king "^Ahaz died, was this 
burden. 

29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because 
the "■ rod of him that smote thee is broken : for out 
of the serpent's root shall come forth a ' cockatrice, 
and his fruit shall he a fiery flying serpent. 

30 And the ' first-born of the poor shall feed, and 
the needy shall lie down in safety : and i will kill 
thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant. 

31 Plowl, O gate ; cry, O city : thou, whole Pales-

CHAPTER LIV. 

The prophet prophesieth the preservation of the church. 

SING, * O barren, thou i/icr^ didst not bear ; break 
forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst 
''not travail with child : for "^ more are the children 
of the desolate than the children of the married wife, 
saith the Lord. 

2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them 
''stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations : spare 
not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes : 

3 For thou shalt ^ break forth on the right hand 
and on the left ; and "^thy seed shall inherit the Gen- 
tiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. 

4 Fear not ; for thou shalt not be ashamed : nei- 
ther be thou confounded ; for thou shalt not be put 
to shame : for thou shalt ^ forget the shame of thy \ 
youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy " 
widowhood any more. 

5 For thy Maker «' thy ''husband ; The Lord of 
hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer, the Holy One 
of Israel ; 1'he God of the ' whole earth shall he be 
called. \ 

6 For the Lord hath "^ called thee as a woman '< 
forsaken and grieved in spirit, and ' a wife of youth, \ 
when thou wast refused, saith thy God. 5 

7 For a "' small moment have I forsaken thee ; \ 
but with great mercies will I gather thee. | 

8 In a little wrath " I hid my face from thee for a* 
moment ; but with "everlasting kindness will I have \ 
mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer. \ 

9 For this is as the ^ waters of Noah unto me : 5 
for as 1 have •* sworn that the waters of Noah should i 
no more go over the earth ; so have I sworn that 1 1 
would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. | 

10 For the mountains shall *■ depart, and the hills \ 
be removed ; but my kindness shall not depart from | 
thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be re- \ 
moved, saith the Lord that hath ^ mercy on thee. ^ 

11 O thou * afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not ^ 
comforted ! behold, I will lay thy "stones with fairs

CHAPTER LV. 

The prophet, with the promises of Christ, calleth to faith. 
O, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the 
^ waters, and he that hath ^ no money ; 
ye, ' buy and eat ; yea, come, buy wine and milk 
without money, and without price. 

2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is 
•^not bread ? and }our labour for that which satisfieth 
not ? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that 
-joAic/tts good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. 

3 Incline your ear, ^and come unto me: hear, and Ig"*'"*-" 
your soul shall live ; and I will make an ' everlasting 
covenant with you, even ^ the sure mercies of David. 29 °"'' " 

4 Behold, I have given him /or a '' witness to the gHos.3,sw 
people, ' a leader and commander to the people. b.Tohn7 

5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation f/iai thou ''know- ^^• 

est not; and nations that knew not thee shall run '^^fj^-^ 

unto thee, because of the Lord thv God, and for the 

Holy One of Israel ; for he hath '"glorified thee. ''Eph 2,1.. 

6 Seek ye the Lord "'while he may be found, "^''"'•'•'*- 
call ye upon him while he is near. ™?%f-,? 

7 Let the " wicked lorsake his way, and the un- 
righteous man his " thoughts : and let him return 
unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him ; 
and to our God, for he will ^ abundantly pardon. 

8 For my thoughts, are not your thoughts, neither 
arc '^ your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 

9 For as the ■■ heavens are higher than the earth, 
so are my ways higher than your ways, and my 
thoughts than your thoughts. 

10 For as the ' rain cometh down, and the snow, 
from heaven, and returneth not thither, but " water- 
eth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that 
it may give "seed to the sower, and bread to the 2. ""''^

11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of ,„„ „ 
my mouth : it shall not ^ return unto me void ; but »o- 

it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall y2Tim.2, 
prosper in the tiling whereto I sent it. 

12 For ye shall ^ go out with joy, and be led forth 
with peace : *the mountains and the hills shall break 
forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the 
field shall clap their hands.

t The BOOK of the Prophet JEREMIAH. 



CHAPTER L 

The time and the calling of Jeremiah. 

THE ' words of Jeremiah the son of ^ Hilkiah, of; 
the priests that were in " Anathoth, in the land 
of Benjamin : 

2 To whom the word of the Lord ** came in the 
days of * Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in 
the thirteenth yearof his reign. 

3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of; 
Josiah king of Judah, unto the || end of the eleventh 
year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, 
unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the 
fifth month. 

4 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

5 Before ! ' formed thee in the belly ^ I knew thee ; 
and before thou earnest forth out of the womb I 
^ sanctified thee ; and I ordained thee a prophet unto 
the nations. 

6 Then said I, ' Ah, Lord God ! behold, ^ I cannot 
speak ; for I «m a ' child. 

7 But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child : 
for tiiou shalt go to all tiiat I shall ™ send thee, and 
" whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. 

8 ° Be not afraid of their faces : for ^ I am with 
thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. 

9 Then the Lord put forth his hand, and "^ touched 
my mouth : and the Lord said unto me, Behold, I 
have ■■ put my words in thy mouth. 

10 See, 1 have this day ' set thee over the nations, 
and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pulldown, 
and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to 
plant. 

1 1 Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou ? And I said, 
I see a * rod of an " almond-tree. 

12 Then said the Lord unto me. Thou hast *well 
seen : for I will ^ hasten my word to perform it. 

13 And the word of the Lord came unto me the 
second time, saying, What seest thou ? And 1 said, 
I see a ^ secthing-pot; and the face thereof 25 toward 
the '" north. 

14 Then the Lord sail unto me, Out of the north 



an ^ evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of 
the land. 

15 For, lo, I will " call all the families of the king- 
doms of the north, saith the Lord ; and they shall 
come, and they shall '^ set every one his throne at 
the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against 
all the walls thereof round about, and against all the 
cities of Judah. 

16 And I will utter my judgments * against them 
touching all their wickedness, ^ who have forsaken 
me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and 
worshipped the works of their own hands. 

17 Thou therefore ^ gird up thy loins, and arise, and 
speak unto them al! that I command thee : be not dis- 
mayed at their faces, lest I ^' confound theebefore them . 

18 For, behold, I have made thee this day a 'de- 
fenced city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls, 
against the whole ^ land ; against the kings of Judah, 
against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, 
and against the people of the land. 

19 And they shall 'fight against thee; but they shall 
" not prevail against thee ; for I am with thee, saith 
the Lord, to deliver thee.

'^ with the house of Israel, and they shall come to- 
gether out of the land of the north to the land that 
I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.

children, and ■■ give thee a pleasant land, a goodly 
heritage of the hosts of nations ? And I said, Thou 
shalt call me, ^My father; and shalt not turn away 
from me. 

20 Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from 
her t husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with 
me, O house of Israel, saith the Lord. 

21 A ^ voice was heard upon the " high |)laces, 
weeping and supplications of the children of Israel : 
for they have '' perverted their way, and they have 
forgotten the Lord their God. 

22 ^' Return, ye backsliding children, aiid I will 
'•" heal your backslidings. Behold, * we come unto 
thee ; for thou art the Lord our God. 

23 Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the

" in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.

29 Cut off thy " hair, Jerusalem, and cast it <=''• 9.2.3-

the Lord hath rejected and forsaken the generation 

of his wrath. 

30 For the children of Judah have done evil in my 
sight, saith the Lord : they have "set their abomi- 
na-tions in the house which is called ^ by my name, 
to pollute it. 

31 And they have built the "^ high places of ^ To- ^ 
phet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to •'• 
burn their sons and their daughters in the fire ; which 7.-2 Kings 
I commanded f/ie?rt not, neithercamcitinto my heart. '^ '"• 

32 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the « isa^sn ss. 
Lord, that it shall no more be called Toi)het, nor, " '' '"" 
The valley ofthe son of Hinnom, but. The valley of 

^ Slaughter : for they shall bury in Tophet till there 
be no place. 

33 And the ''carcases of this people shall be meat c Dent. 28,

and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bride- 
groom, and the v'oice of the bride. 

10 And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew 
this people all these words, and they shall say unto 
thee, ' Wherefore hath the Lord pronounced all this 
great evil against us ? or ^ what is our iniquity ? or 
what is our sin, that we have committed against tlie 
Lord our God ? 

1 1 Then shalt thou say unto them, ' Because your 
fathers have forsaken me, saith the Lord, and have 
Avalked after other gods, and have served them, and 
have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and 
have not kept my law : 

1 2 And ye have ™ done worse than your fathers ; 
(for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagina- 
tion of his evil heart, that they may ° not hearken 
unto me 

13 Therefore will I "cast you out of this land into 
a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers ; 
and there sJiall ye serve other gods day and night, 
where I will not p shew you favour. 

14 "^ Therefore, behold, the ' days come, saith the 
Lord, that it ' shall no more be said, The Lord 
Itveth that brought up the children of Israel out of 
the land of Egypt ; 

15 But, The Lord liveth that brought up the 
' children of Israel from the land of the north, and 
from all the lands whither he had driven tliem : and 
I will " bring them again into their land that I gave 
unto their fathers. 

16 Behold, I will send for many ^fishers, saith 
the Lord, and they shall fish them ; and after will I 
send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them 
from every mountain, and from every hill, and out 
of the holes of the rocks. 

17 For ^ mine eyes are upon all their ways : they 
are ^ not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity 
hid from mine eyes. 

18 And first I will "recompense their iniquity and , 
their sin double ; because they have defiled my land, \ 
they have filled mine inheritance with the " carcases " 
of their detestable and abominable things. 

19 Lord, " my strength, and my fortress, and 
my refuge in the day of affliction, the " Gentiles shall 



' trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, ajid 
whose heart denarteth from the Lord : 

6 For he shail be like the heath in the desert, and 
shall ^ not see when good cometh ; butshall inhabit 
the ' parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land 
and not inhabited. 

7 Blessed is the man that '"trusteth in the Lord, 
and whose hope the Lord is : 

8 For he shall be as ° a tree planted by the waters, 
and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and 
shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall 
be green ; and shall not be careful in the year of 
"drought, neither shall t' cease from yielding fruit. 

9 The heart 25 deceitful "^ above all things, and 
"■ desperately wicked : who ' can know it ? 

10 I the Lord ^ search the heart, /try the reins, 
even to give every man according to his ways, and 
according to the fruit of his doings 

1 1 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth 
them not ; so he " that getteth riches, and not by right, 
shall ^ leave them in the midst of his days, and at 
his end shall be ^ a fool. 

12 A glorious high throne from the beginning is 
the place of our sanctuary. 

13 O Lord, the Hope of Israel, all that ^ forsake 
thee shall be ashamed, and they that dejiart from 
me shall be " written in the earth, because they have 
forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters. 

I 14 "^ Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed ; 
> save me, and I shall be saved : for thou artniy praise.

13 And 1 will bring upon that land all my words " 
which I have pronounced against it, even all that is 
written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophe- 
sied against all the nations. 

14 For " many nations and great kings shall serve " 'sa-i^-i 
themselves of them also : and 1 will '^ recompense Rg'^igy-gf- 
them according to their deeds, and according to the 
works of their own hands. 

15 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto me, 
Take the ^ wine-cup of this fury at my hand, and lo'®'*'^' 
cause all the nations to whom I send thee, to drink it. 

16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and be 
^ mad, because of the sword that I will send among 
them. 

17 Then took I the cup at the Lord's hand, and 
^ made all the nations to drink, unto whom the Lord lo^t 27\ 
had sent me : 

18 To wit, ''Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, 
and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to 
make them a desolation, an astonishment, a I)is- 
sing, and a curse ; " (as it is this day ;) 

19 ''Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, dcen. 12,

and I will '' bring them again to this land : and I ; 
will build them, and not pull them down ; and I will ' 
plant them, and not pluck them up. j 

7 And ' 1 will give them a " heart to know me, : 
that I am the Lord : and they shall be my peoj)le, : 
and I will be their God : for they shall return unto; 
me with their ' whole heart. 

8 And as the ""evil figs, which cannot be eaten,; 
they are so evil ; surely thus saith the Lord, So will 
1 give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, 
and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, 
and them that ° dwell in the land of Egypt ; 

9 And I will deliver them to ° be removed into all 
the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a re- 
proach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all pla- 
ces whither I shall drive them. 

10 And P I will send the sword, the famine, and ^ 
the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed \ 
from off the land that I gave unto them and to their

saith the Lord concerning Shemaiah the Nehela- 
mite ; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto

CHAPTER XXX. 

God slieweth Jeremiah the return of the Jews. 

THE word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, 
saying, 

2 Thus speaketh the Lord God of Israel, saying, 
* Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto 
thee in a book. 

3 For, lo, ^ the days come, saith the Lord, that I 
will '^ bring again the captivity of my people Israel 
and Judah, saith the Lord ; and I will cause them 
to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and 
they shall possess it. 

4 And these are the words that the Lord spake 
concerning Israel, and concerning Judah. 

5 For thus saith the Lord, We have heard a voice 
of '^ trembling, of fear, and " not of peace. 

6 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth ^ tra- 
vail with child ? wherefore do I see every man with 
his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all 
faces are turned into paleness ? 

g Joel 2, 11. 7 Alas ! for that day is ^ great, so that ^ none is like : 
hDan. 12, it '. it is cvcu the ' time of Jacob's trouble ; but '' he i 
shall be saved out of it. 

8 For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the : 
Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy 
neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall 
' no more serve themselves of him : 

9 But they shall serve the Lord their God, and 
" David their king, whom I will ° raise up unto them. 

10 Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, 
saith the Lord ; neither be dismayed, O Israel : for, 
lo, 1 will ° save thee from afar, and thy seed from the ; 
land of their captivity ; and Jacob shall return, and | 
shall be ^ in rest and be quiet, and none shall make j 
him afraid. i 

11 For I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save; 
thee : though I make a full end of all nations whither ; 
I have scattered thee, yet will I not make "^ a full end i 
of thee ; but I will correct thee ^ in measure, and 
will not leave thee altogether unpunished. 

12 For thus saith the Lord, Thy ' bruise is incu- 
rable, and thy wound is grievous. 

13 There is * none to plead thy cause, that thou 
niayest be bound up : thou hast " no healing medi- 
cines. 

14 All thy * lovers have forgotten thee : they seek [ 
thee not : for I have wounded thee with the wound of? 
an y enemy, with the chastisement of ^ a cruel one, for i

? the multitude of thine iniquity ; because thy sins 
were increased. 

15 Why * criest thou for thine affliction ? thy sor- 
row is incurable for the ^ multitude of thine iniquity : 
because thy sins were increased I have done these 
things unto thee. 

16 Therefore all they that " devour thee shall be 
devoured ; and all thine adversaries, every one of 
them shall go into captivity ; and they that spoil thee 
shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I 
*" give for a prey. 

17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will 
heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord ; because 
they called thee * an Outcast, s«j/mg", ^ This is Zion, 
whom ^ no man seeketh after. 

18 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, ""I will bring 
again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and ' have mercy 
on his dwelling-places ; and the city shall be builded 
upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after 
the manner thereof. 

19 And out of them shall proceed ^ thanksgiving, 
and the voice of them that make merry • and I will 
multiply them, and they shall not be few ; I will also 
glorify them, and they ' shall not be small. 

20 Their children also shall be " as aforetime, 
and their congregation shall be established before me, 
and I will punish all that oppress them. 

21 And their f nobles shall be of themselves, and 
their governor shall proceed from the midst of them ; 
and I will cause him to dra\y near, and he shall 
"approach unto me : for who is this that ° engaged 
his lieart to approach unto me ? saith the Lord. 

22 And ye shall be ^ my people, and I will be 
your God. 

23 Behold, the "^ whirlwind of the Lord goeth 
forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind ; it shall fall 
with pain upon the head of the wicked. 

24 The ■■ fierce anger of the Lord shall notreturn, 
until he have done it, and until he have performed 
the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall 
consider it, 

CHAPTER XXXI. 

1 The restoration of Israel. ...22 Christ is promised. 
T the same time, saith the Lord, ^vill I be the 
God * of all the families of Israel, and they shall 
be my people. 

. 2 Thus saith the Lord, The people which icere 
left of the sword ^ found grace in the wilderness ; 
even Israel, when I went to cause him ''to rest. 

3 The Lord hath appeared ofold'' unto me. ^rtymg". 
Yea, I have " loved thee with ' an everlasting love ; 
therefore ^with loving-kindness have I drawn thee. 

4 Again I will ^ build thee, and thou shalt be 
built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt agaii. be adorned 
with thy ' tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of 
them that make merry. 

5 Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains 
of Samaria : the planters shall '' plant, and shall eat 
them as common things. 

6 For there shall be ' a day, that the " watchmen 
upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and 
"let us go up to Zion unto the Lord our God. 

7 For thus saith the Lord, ° Sing with gladness 
for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations : 
publish ye, praise ye, and say, O Lord, save thy 
people, the remnant of Israel. 

8 Behold, I will bringthem from the north country,

houses of the kings of Judah, which are "^ thrown 
down by the momits, and by the sword ; 

5 ^ They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it 
is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom

12 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Again in this 
place, which is desolate without man and without

13 "^ In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of ^ ^^^^ ^

14 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I 
will ^ perform that good thing which I have promised

15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause 
the" Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David;

the land. 

16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jeru-

18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a 
man before me, ^ to ofter burnt-offerings, and to kindle

2 She *^ weepeth sore in the night, and her tears 
are on her cheeks ; among * all her lovers she hath 
none to comfort Aer; all her friends have dealt treach- 
erously with her ; they are becoaie her enemies. 

3 Judah ' is gone into captivity, because of afflic- 
tion, and because of great servitude ; she ^ dwelleth 
among the heathen, she findeth no rest : all her [ler- 
secutors overtook her between the '' straits.

come to the solemn feasts : all her gates are desolate •

5 Her adversaries are the 'chief, her enemies pros-

into captivity before the enemy. 

6 And from the daughter of Zion " all her beauty 
is de[)arttd : her princes are become like harts thai 

ad "no pasture; and they are gone without strength 
before the pursuer.

29 ^ He putteth his mouth in the dust, if so be 
there may be hone. 

30 He giveth m5 ' cheek to him thatsmiteth him : 
he is filled full with reproach. 

31 For the Lord will " not cast off for ever : 

32 But though he cause grief,, 5'et will he have 
'compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. 

33 For he doth not afflict " willingly, nor grieve 
the children of men. 

34 To crush under his feet all the ° prisoners of 
the earth, 

35 ° To turn aside the right of a man before the 
face of the Most High, 

36 To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord ''ap- 
proveth not. 

37 Who is he that 'J saith, and it cometh to pass, 
ivhen the Lord commandeth it not ? 

38 Out of the mouth of the Most High proceedeth 
not ' evil and good ? 

3d Wherefore doth a living man 'complain, a mari 
for the ^ punishment of his sins ? 

40 Let us " search and try bur ways, and turn 
again to the Lord. 

41 Let us lift up our heart with our hands ^ unto 
God in the heavens. 

42 We have transgressed, and have ^ rebelled : 
thou hast not pardoned. 

43 Thou hast '- covered with anger, and persecu- 
ted us : thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied. 

44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that 
our prayer should '^ not pass through. 

45 Thou hast made us as the '' offscouring and 
refuse in the midst of the people. 

46 All our enemies have *= opened their mouths 
against us. 

47 Fear and "^ a snare is come upon us, desolation 
and destruction. 

48 Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water 
for the ^ destruction of the daughter of my people. 

49/ Mine eye trickleth down and ceaseth not, 
without any intermission, 

50 Till the Lord ^ look down, and behold from 
heaven. 

51 Mine eye affectetli my heart, because of all the 
''daughters of my city, . , 

52 Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, iP8-s5% 
' without cause.

CHAPTER I. 

1 The time of Ezekiel's prophecy at Chebar ; 4 his vision. 

NOW it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the i 
fourth months in the Mlhday of the month, asi 
I ivas among tlie captives by the river of Chebar,' 
that the * heavens were opened, and I saw ''visions 
of God. 

2 In the fifth day of the month, (which was the 
fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,) 

3 The word of the Lord " came expressly unto 
Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of 
the '^ Chaldeans, by the river Chebar ; and the ^ hand 
of the Lord was there upon him. 

4 And I ^ looked, and, behold, ^ a whirlwind came 
out of *" the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding 
itself, and a ' brightness was about it, and out of the 
midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the 
midst of the fire : 

5 Also out of the ^ midst thereof cawze the likeness 
of ' four living creatures. And this was their appear- 
ance ; they had the likeness of a man. 

6 And every one had four faces, and every one had 
four ■" wings. 

7 And their ieetwere "straight feet; and the sole 
of their feet was like the sole of a ° calPs foot ; and 
they sparkled like the colour of •* burnished brass. 

8 And they had the "^ hands of a man "■ undei- their 
wings, on their four sides ; and they four had their 
faces and their wings. 

9 Their wings were 'joined one to another ; they 
* turned not when they went; they went every one 
" straight forward. 

10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had 
the face of "^ a man, and the face of ^ a lion on the 
right side ; and they four had the face of an "^ ox on the 
left side ; they four also had the face of * an eagle. 

11 Thus were their faces : and their wings were 
stretched upward; two wings of every one were 
joined one to another, and two covered their bodies. 

12 And they went every one straight forward : 
whither the ** spirit was to go, they went ; and they 
turned not when they went. 

13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their 
appearance w«.slike *= burning coals of fire, and like 
the appearance of lamps: ''it went up and down 
among the livingcreatures ; and the fire was bright, 
and out of the fire went forth lightning. 

14 And the living creatures ^ran and ^returned as 
the appearance of a flash of lightning. 

15 Now, as I beheld the living creatures, behold, 
^ one wheel upon the ^ earth by the living creatures, 
with his four faces. 

16 The appearance 'of the wheels and their work 
was like unto the colour of a beryl ; and they four 
had one likeness: and their appearance and their work 
was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 

17 When they went, they went upon their four . 
sides ; and they turned not when they went. \ 



1 8 As for their rings, they were so ^ highj that they 
were dreadful ; and their rings were ' full of eyes 
round about them four. 

19 And whenthelivingcreatures went, the wheels 
went " by them ; and when the living creatures were 
lifted up from the earth, the ° wheels were lifted up. 

20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they M^ent, 
thither ivas their spirit to go ; and the wheels were 
lifted up over against them : for thespirit of theliving 
creature ° was in the wheels. 

21 When those wentj.^/tese went; and when those 
stood, these stood ; and when those were lifted up from 
the earthjthe wheels were lifted up over against them: 
for P the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. 

22 And the likeness of the '^ firmament upon the 
heads of the living creature w;a.s as the colour of 
' the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads 
above. ■ ' . . 

23 And under the firmament were their wings 
straight, the one toward the other: every one had 
two which ' covered on this side, and every one had 
two, which covered on that side, their bodies. 

24 And when they went, I heard the noise of their 
wings, like the noise of * great waters, as the voice 
of "the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of 
a host : when they stood, they let down their wings. 

25 And there was ^ a voice from the firmament that 
was over their heads, when they ^ stood, and had let 
down their wings. 

.26 And above the firaiament that was over their 
heads was the likeness of a ^ throne, as the appear- 
ance of a sapphire-stone : and upon the likeness of 
the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a 
man above * upon it. 

27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appear- 
ance of ''fire round about within it ; from the appear- 
ance of his loins even upward, and from the appear- 
ance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were 
the appearance of fire, and if had " brightness round 
about. 

28 As the appearance of the ^ bow that is in the 
cloud in the day of ^ rain, so was the appearance of 
the brightness round about. This was the appear- 
ance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And 
when I saw it, ^ I fell upon my face, and I ^ heard a 
voice of one that spake. 

CHAPTER II. 

1 Ezekiel's commission ; 6 his instruction ; 9 his prophecy. 
ND he said unto me, * Son of man, "stand upon 
thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. 

2 And the spirit ' entered into me ''when he spake 
unto me, and * set me upon my feet, that I heard him 
that spake unto me. 

3 And he said unto me. Son of man, ' I send thee 
to the children of Israel, to a rebellious f nation that 
hath rebelled against me : they and ^their fathers have 
transgressed against me, even unto this very day. 

4 For they am impudent children, and'^stiiF-hearted:

destruction of the rest. 

E cried also ''in mine ears with a loud voice, « Amos 3,7. 
saying. Cause them that " have charge over the b Dan. 10, 
city to draw near, even every man with his destroying ^'' 
weapon in his hand. 

2 And, behold, six 'men came from the way of the ccen. n^.

man '^ a slat jghter- weapon in his hand ; and ® one 20'^"'' '°*'

6 Then said he unto me, Son of man, ""Hft up thine ^ - ' ^ • ^ ■' ■ ' 

eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up 
mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold, 
northward at the gate of the altar, this image of 
jealousy in the entry. 

6 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest 
thou what they do ? even the great abominations that 
the house of Israel committeth here, that " I should go 
far off from my sanctuary .^But turn thee yet again, 
and thou shalt see greater abominations. 

7 And he brought me to the " door of the court; 
and when 1 looked, behbld, ^ a hole in the wall. 

8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, "^ dig now 
in the wall : and when I had digged in the wall, 
behold, a door. 

9 And he said unto me. Go in, and behold the 
wicked abominations that they do here. 

10 So 1 went in and saw; and, behold, every form 
of creeping things, and "■ abominable beasts, and all 
the t idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the 
wall round about. 

11 And there stood before them seventy men of 
the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst 
of them stood Jaazaniah the son ' of Shaphan, with 
every man his censer in his hand ; and a thick cloud 
of ' incense went up. 

12 Then said he unto me. Son of man, hast thou 
seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the 

dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery ? 
for they say, The Loud ^ seeth us not ; the Lord 
hath ^ forsaken the earth. 

1 3 He said also unto me. Turn thee yet again, and r 
thou shalt ' see greater abominations that they do. 5 

14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate off 
the Lord's house which was toward the north ; and, \ 
behold, there sat ■ women weeping for ^ Tammuz. \ 

15 Then said he unto me. Hast thou seen this. O \ 
son of man ? Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see I 
greater abominations than these. \

3 And the ''glory of the God of Israel was gone up 
from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the 'threshold 
of the house : and he called to the man clothed with 
linen, which had the writer's ink-horn by his side ; 

_4 And the Lord said unto him, Go through the ^^^^^

5 And to the others he said in my hearing. Go ye 2Cor.i4

8 And it came to pass while they were slaying them, r Num. 14,

and said, ' Ah Lord God ! wilt thou destroy all the ^ ^^^ J ^

Jerusalem ? 

9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house 
of Israel and Judah w "exceeding great, and the land "«''•'•>"• 
is full of ^ blood, and the city full of peTverseness ; 21^,^;"^ 
for they say, The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and 
the Lord ^' seeth not. 

1 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, 
neither will I have })ity ; but I will ^ recompense 
their way upon their head.

The rejection of Jerusalem foreshewn.

any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees 
of the forest? 

3 .Shall wood be taken thereof ** to do any work ? 
c Mat. 5,13 or wi 11 men take "^ a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon ? 

4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel ; the fire 
devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is 
burned. Is it meet for any work ? 

5 Behold, when it was whole it was meet for no 
work : '^ how much less shall it be meet yet for atiy 
work when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned ? 

6 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, ® As the 
vine-tree among the trees of the forest, which I have 
given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabit- 
ants of Jerusalem. 

7 And 1 will *" set my face against them ; they shall

they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord God. 

CHAPTER XVL 

God's extraordinary love toward Jerusalem. 
GAIN tne word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

2 Son of man, * cause Jerusalem to know her 
abominations, 

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God unto Jeru- 
salem, Thy ^ birth and thy nativity is of the land of 
Canaan ; thy father ivas an Amorite, and thy mother 
a Hittite. 

4 And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast 
"^ born, thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou wash- 
ed in water to supple thee : thou wast not '^ salted at 
all, nor swaddled at all. 

5 None eye i)itied thee, to do any of these unto 
thee, to have compassion upon thee ; but thou wast 
cast out in the open field, to the " loathing of thy per- 

f Gal. 3 32 son, in the day that thou wast born. 

6 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee pol- 
luted in thine own ^ blood, I said unto thee, when thou

lifted up his eyes to the idols, haih committed " abomi-

13 Hath given forth upon usury, and hath laKen 
increase : shall he then live ? he shall not live : he 
iiath done all these abominations ; he shall surely 
" die ; his ^ blood shall be upon him. 

14 Now, lo, if he ^ beget a son that * seeth all his 
father's sins which he hath done, and '' considereth, 
and " doeth not such like, 

13 That hath not eaten upon the mountanis, nei- 
ther hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house 
of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbour's wile, 

16 Neither hath oppressed any, hath not with- 
holden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, 
but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath cov- 
ered the naked with a garment, 

17 Tliat hath taken off his hand from the poor, 
that hath not received usury nor increase, hath exe- 
cuted my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; 
he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall 
surely live. 

1 8 Asfor his father, because he '^ cruelly oppressed, 
spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which w 
not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in 
his iniquity. 

19 Yet say ye. Why .^ doth not the son bear the 
* iniquity of the father ? When the son hath done 
that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my 
statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. 

20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. / The son 
shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall 
the father bear the iniquity of the son ; the ^ right- 
eousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and 
the '' wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 

21 But if the wicked will ' turn from all his sins 
that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, 
and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely 
live, he shall not die. 

22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, 
they shall not be '' mentioned unto him : ' in his right- 
eousness that he hath done he shall live. 

23 Have I any " pleasure at all that the wicked 
should die ? saith the Lord God ; and not that he 
should return from his ways, and live ? 

24 But when ° the righteous turneth away from 
his righteousness, and "committeth iniquity, and 
dqeth according to all the abominations that the 
wicked m«w doeth, shall he live? All his '' right' 
eousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned : 
in his trespass, that he hath trespassed, and in his 
sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. 

25 Yet *> ye say. The way of the Lord is not equal. 
Hear now, O house of Israel, ""Is not my way equal ? 
are not ^your ways unequal ? 

26 When a righteous tmm turneth away from his 
righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in 
them ; for his iniquity that he hath done, shall he die. 

27 Again, when the wicked man turneth away 
from his wickedness that he hath committed, and 
doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall f save 
his sonl alive. 

28 Because he * considereth, and turneth away 
from all his transgressions that he hath committed, 
he shall surely live, he shall not die. 

29 Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the

I lifted up my hand unto them, saying, ! am the Lord

6 In the day that I lifted up my hand unto them, 
to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land 
that 1 had '' espied lor them, flowing with milk and 
honey, whicli is the ''glory of all lands : 

7 Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man

8 But they rebelled against me, and would ° not 
hearken unto me : they did not every man cast away 
the abominations of their eyes, neither did the}' for- 
sake the idols of Egypt : then I said, ° I will pour 
out my fury upon them, to accomplish mine anger 
against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. 

9 But I wrought for my ^name's sake,that it should 
not be polluted '^ before the heathen, among whom 
they wcre,'m whose sight I made myself known unto 
them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt. 

10 Wherefore "■ I caused them togofortii out of the

24 Because they had not executed my judgments, 

but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my

25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes that ivere"'not.

in that they have committed a trespass against me. 

28 For when I ''had brought them into the land, 
\for the which I lifted up my hand to give it to them,

wlwredoms of Aliolah and AJiokhah. C H AP T 

they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names, 
Samaria is Ahohih, and Jerusalem Aholibah. 

5 And Aholah played the harlot when she was 
mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the ^Assyr- 
ians her neighbours, 

6 Which loere clothed with blue, captains and 
rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen 
riding upon horses. 

7 Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, 
^ with all them thai were the chosen men of Assyria, 
and with all on whom she doted : with all their idols 
she defiled herself. 

8 Neither left she her whoredoms ^ brought from 
Egypt : ibr in her youth they lay with her, and they 
bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their 
whoredom upon her. 

9 Wherefore I have ' delivered her into the hand 
of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon 
whom she doted. 

10 These "discovered her nakedness ; they took 
her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the 
sword ; and she became ' famous among women ; foi 
they had executed judgment upon her. 

1 1 And when her sister Aholibah saw z/w5, she was 
"more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in 
her whoredoms more thanher sister in /icr whoredoms. 

12 She "doted upon the Assyrians /zer neighbours, 
captainsandrulersclothedmostgorgeoMsly, horsemen 
riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men. 

13 Then I saw that she was defiled, that they 
took both " one way ; 

14 And tliat she increased her whoredoms : for 
when she saw men p pourtraycd upon the wall, the 
images of the Chaldeans i)ourtrayed with'' vermilion, 

15 Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding 
in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes 
to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of 
Chaldea, the land of their nativity : 

16 And, as soon as she ■■ saw them with her eyes, 
she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them 
into Chaldea. 

17 And the 'Babylonians came to her into the bed 
of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom ; 
and she was poHuted with them, and her ^ mind was 
alienated from them. 

18 So she discovered her whoredoms, and discov- 
ered her nakedness : then ray mind was alienated 
from her, like as my mind was " alienated from her 
sister. 

19 Yet she "" multiplied her whoredoms, ^ in call- 
ing to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein 
she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. 

20 For she doted upon their f paramours, whose 
flesh IS as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like 
the issue of horses. 

21 Thus thou calledstto remembrance the lewd- 
ness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyp- 
tians for the paps of thy youth. 

22 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord 
God, Behold, ^I will raise up thy lovers against thee, 
from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring 
them against thee on every side ; 

23 The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, "Pe- 
kod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with 
them : all of them desirable young men, captains and 
rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding 
upon horses. 

24 And they shall come against thee with chariots,

9 ' I have made him fair by the multitude of his \

10 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Because 
thou hast ' lifted up thyself in height, and he hath 
shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart 
is lifted up in his height ; 

1 1 " I have, therefore, deliveied him into the hand

14 '' To the end that none of all the trees by the ?

for they arc all delivered unto death, to the nether \

15 Thus saith the Lord God, In the day when he 
went down to the grave I caused a mourning : '^ I 
covered the deep for him, and 1 restrained the floods 
thereof, and the great waters were stayed ; and I 
caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees 
of the field fainted for him. 

16 1 made the nations to shake at the sound of his 
fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that 
descend into the pit : and all the trees of Eden, the 
choice and best of L'^banon, all that drink water, 
shall be '' comforted in the nether parts of the earth.

18 To whom art thou thus like in glory and in J

and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty 
cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad. 

34 And the arches thereof were toward the out- 
ward court ; and palm-trees were upon the posts 
thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the 
going up to it had "^ eight steps. 

35 And he brought me to tlie north gate, and mea- 
sured it according to these measures : 

36 The litHe chambers thereof, the posts thereof, 
and the arches thereof, and the windows to it round 
about : the length was fifty cubit 
five and twenty cubits. 

37 And the posts thereoftoeretowardtheouter court; 
ovver I and palm-treesw;ereuponthepos1sthereof,onthisside," 

\ and on that side: and the going up to it /zrtfZ eight steps. 

38 And the chambers, and the entries thereof, ivere e i c.r. n 
by the posts of the gates, where they "' washed the tuuk 3, 5 
burnt-offering. ^f'- '"■ -"- 

39 And in the i)orch of the gate were two tables on Jame^^ 4, s 
this side, and two tables on that side, to sla}" thereon 
the burnt-offering, and the sin-offering, and the tres- 
pass-offering. 

40 And at the side without, as one goeth up to the 
entry of the north gate, were two tables ; and on the 
other side, which was at the porch of the gate, were 
two tables. 

41 Four tables were on this side, and four tables 
on that side, by the side of the gate ; eight tables, 
whereupon they slew their sacrifices. 

42 And the four tables were of hewn stone for the 
l)urnt-offering, of a cubit and a half long, and a cubit 
and a half broad, and one cubit high : whereupon 
also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew 
the burnt-offering and the sacrifice. 

43 And within ivere hooks, a hand broad, fastened 
round about : and uiion the tables was the flesh of 
the offering. 

44 And without the inner gate u'ere the chambers 
of tiie ^ singers in the inner court, which was at the 
side of the north gate ; and their prosi)ect?ms toward 
the south ; one at the side of the east gate, having 
the prospect toward the north. 

45 And he said unto me, This chambicr, whose 
prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the 
*■ keepers of the charge of the house. 

46 And the chamber whose prosi)ect is toward the 
north is for the priests, the keepers of the ciiarge of <•''«?■ ■'^.'^ 

e ■ altar : these are the sons of ^ Zadok, among the 
sons of Levi, which come ' near to the Lord to 
minister unto him. 

47 So he measured the court, a hundred cubits iiph i, n 
long, and a hundred cubits brorid, foursquare; and "• • " 
the altar that was before the house.

48 And he brought mc to "^ the porch of the house, ] 
and measured each post of the porcJi, five cubits on? 
this side, and five cubits on that side : and the breadth \ 
of the gate icas three cubits on tins side, and three ^ 
cubits on that side. _ \ 

49 The length of the porch vjas twenty cubits, ^ 
and the breadth eleven cubits and he brought me^ 
by the steps whereby they went up to it; and there'^ 
were" pillars by the posts, one on this side, and; 
another on that side. ? 

CHAPTER XJ.I. j 

The measures, pa;ts, chambers, and ornaments of the temple. '< 

AFTERWARD " he brought nie to the Memule, 
and measured the posts, six cubiis broad on the 5 
one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, ivhich i 
li-'rt.S' the '^ breadth of the tabernacle. _ I 

2 And the breadth of the '^door ^ras ten cubits ;^ 
and the sides of the door iverefive cubits on the one? 
side, and five cubits on the other side ; and he mea- 1 
sured the "length thereof, forty cubits, and the breadth, I 
twenty cubits. i 

3 Then went he inward, and measured the post i 
of the door two cubits, and the door six cubits, andj 
the breadth of the door seven cubits. \ 

4 So he measured the length thereof, ""twenty cu-> 
bits, and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: l 
and he said unto me. This is tiie most holy^^^ace. | 

5 Al'tei he measured the wall of the house six cu- 1 
bits; and the breadth of cfcr?/ = side-chamber four s 
cubits, round about the house on every side. < 

6 And the side-chambers were three, one over? 
another, and thirty in order ; and they '' entered into I 
the wall, which was of the house for the side-cham- ■ 
bers round about, that they might have hold, but 
they had not hold in the wall of the house. 

7 And there was an enlarging and a ^vinding about 
still upward to the side-chambers : for the winding 
about of the house went still upvyard round about the 
house : therefore the breadth of the house was still 
upward, and so ' increased. /rom the lowest chamber 
to the highest by the midst. 

8 I saw also the height of the house round about : 
the foundations of the side-chambers ioere a full reed 
of six great cubits. 

9 The thickness of the wall, which luas for the _ 
side-chamber without, was five cubits; and that\ 
which ivas left whis the place of the side-chambers | 
that were within. 

10 And between the chambers wft5 the wideness 
of twenty cubits round about the house on every side. 

11 Andthedoors of the side-chambers i(;ere toward 
the place that was left, ^ one door toward the north, 
and another door toward the south ; and the breadth 
of the place that was left was five cubits round about. 

12 Now the building Xh-xtwas before the separate 
jilace, at the end toward the west, was seventy cubits 
broad ; and the wall of the building was five cubits \ 
thick round about,and the length thereof ninety cubits. \ 

13 So he measm-ed the house, a hundred cubits? 
long ; and the sejwrate place, and the building, with 5 
the walls thereof, a hundred cubits long ; < 

14 Also the breadth of the face of the house, and \ 
of the separate place toward the east,ahundredcubits. \ 

J 5 And he measured the length of the building^ 
over against the separate place which was behind it, \ 
and the ' galleries thereof on the one side, and on the \ 
other side, a hundred cubits, with the inner temple, ? 
aiid the porches of the court ; \

18 And it icas made with cherubims and " palm-

20 From the ground unto above the door were^

21 The *! posts of the temple ivere squared, r/nr/ the

and the length thereof two cubits ; and the corners « uohni 
thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, 
ivere of wood ; and he said unto me, This is the 
' table that fi' before the Lord. 

23 And the temple and the sancfuary had two doors. 

24 And the doors had two leaves apiece, t\\ o turn- 
ing-leaves ; two /erre^.v for tiie one door, and two 
leaves for the other door. 

23 And there were made on them, on the " doors 
of the temple, cherubims and palm-trees, like as 
were made upon the walls ; and tJiere were thicii 
planks upon the face of the porch without. 

26 And tliere were narrow windo\A's and palm- 
trees on the one side and on the other side, on the 
sides of the porch, and upon the ^ side-chambers of 
the house, and thick jjlanks.

CHAPTER I. 

1 Jehoiakim'scaptivity....3 AshpenaxtKketh Danie],Hananiah, 
Mishael, and Azariah....l7 Their excellency in wisdom. 
N the "third year of the reign of .lehoiakim king 
of Judah came ''Nebuchadnezzar king of Baby- 
lon unto "Jerusalem, and besieged it. 

2 And the Lord '' gave Jehoiakim king of Judah 
into his hand, with "part of the vessels of the ^ house 
of God, which he carried into the land of Shinar, to 
the house of his god ; and he brought the vessels 
into the ^ treasure-houss of his god. 

3 And the king spake unto Aslii)enaz the master of 
his eunuchs, that he should '' bring certom of the chil- 
dren of Israel, and of the ' king's seed, and of the 
princes ; 

4 Children in whom was no blemish, but ^ well- 
favoured, cuid ' skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in 
knowledge, and understanding science, and such as 
had "" ability in them ° to stand in the king's palace, 
and whom they might teach the ° learning and the 
tongue of the Chaldeans. 

5 And the king appointed them a ^ daily provision 
of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank ; 
so nourishing them ^ three years, that at the end there- 
of tiiey might stand before the king. 

6 Now among these were of the "■ children of Ju- 
dah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah ; 

7 Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs 'gave 
names : for he gave unto Daniel, the name of Bel- 
teshazzar ; and to Hananiah, of »Shadrach : and to 
Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abed-nego. 

8 But Daniel ' purposed in his heart that he would 
not " defile himself with the portion of the king's 
meat, nor with the wine which he drank : thereiore 
he retpiested of the prince of the eunuchs that he 
might not defile himself 

9 Now God had brought Daniel " into favour and 
tender love with the prince of the eunuchs, 

10 And the prince of the eunuchs ^ said luito 
Daniel, ''■ 1 fear my lord the king, who hath appointed 
your meat and your drink : for why should he see 
your faces vvorse liking than the children which are 
of your sort .^ then shall ye make me ^ endanger my 
head to the king. 

1 1 Then ''said Daniel toMelzar, whom the prince 
of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, 
Mishael, and Azariah, 

12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, " ten days ; 
and let them give us *" pulse to eat, and water to drink. 

13 Then let our countenances be looked upon be- 
fore thee, and the countenance of the children that 
eat of the portion of the king's meat : and as thou 
seest, * deal with thy servants. 

14 So Mie consented to them in this matter, and 
proved them ten days. 



■ 15 And at the end often days thpir countenances 
I appeared ^ fairer and fatter in tlesh than all the chil- 
idren which did eat the portion of the king's meat. 
\ 16 Thus Melzar '' took away the portion of their 
i meat, and the wine that they should drink ; and gave 
I them pulse. 

I 17 As for the.se four children, 'God gave them 
I knowledge and skill in all ''learning and wisdom: and 
I Daniel had understanding in all ' visions and dreams. 

1 8 Now, at the '" end of the days that the king had 
said he should bring them in, then the prince of the 
eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. 

19 And the king "communed with them: and 
among them all was found none like Daniel, Hana- 
niah, Mishael, and Azariah : therefore stood they 
before the king. 

20 And in all matters of wisdom and understand- 
ing, that the king inquired of them, he found them 
t ten times better than all the magicians and astrolo- 
gers that were in all his realm. 

21 And Daniel continued even unto the ° first 
year of king Cyrus. 

CHAPTER II. 

1 Nebuchadnezzar forgettetli his dream. ...14 It is revealed to 
Daniel. ...31 The dream and the interpretation thereof. 
ND in the second year of the reign of Nebuchad- 
nezzar, Nebuchadnezzar " dreamed dreams, 
i wherewith his ''si)irit was troubled, and his sleep 
; brake from him. 

! 2 Then the king commanded '' to call * the magi- 
: cians, and the astrologers, and the ^ sorcerers, and the 
Chaldeans, for ^to shew the king his dreams. So 
they came and stood before the king. 

3 And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a 
dream, and my spirit was troubled '' to know the 
dream. 

4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriac, 
O king, live for ever: 'tell thv servants the dream, 
and ^ we will shew the interj)retation. 

5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, 
The thing is gone from me : ifye will not make known 
unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, 
ye shall be ' cut in pieces, and your houses shall be 
made a dunghill : 

6 But ifye shew the dream, and the interpretation 
thereof, ye shall receive of me "" gifts, and rewards, 
and great honour : therefore shew me the dream and 
the interpretation thereof. 

7 They " answered again, and said. Let the king 
: "tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the 
; inter])retation of it. 

8 The king answered and said, I know of certainty 
: that ye would f gain the time, ^ because ye see the 
i thing is gone from me.

4 1 Nebuchadnezzar was '' at rest in my house, 
and ' flourishing in my palace : 

6 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the 
thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head 
"" troubled me. 

6 Therefore made I 'adecreeto bring in all the wise 
men of Babylon before me, that "'they might make 
known unto me the interpretation of the dream. 

7 Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, 
the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers : and I told the 
dream before them ; hut they did " not make known 
unto me the interpretation thereof. 

8 But" at the last Daniel came in before me, 
(whose name tvas Belteshazzar, according to the 
P name of my god, and in whom is the "^ spirit of the 
holy gods,) and before him I told the dream, saying, 

9 O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because | 
I know that the spirit of the holy gods is ^ in thee, and i 
no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my t 
dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof. { 

10 Thus ivere the visions of my head in my bed : 
I saw, and, behold, ^ a tree in the midst of the earth, 
and the height thereof was ' great. 

1 1 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height 
thereof " reached unto heaven 
to the end of all the earth : 



21 Whose ' leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof ^^i "■ 
much, -And in it loas meat for all ; under which the 
beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches 
the fowls of the heaven had their habitation : 

22 It is " thou, O king, that art grown and become "a^,^^""' 
strong : for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto lf^\% 
heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth. '''''''' 

23 And whereas the liing saw a watcher and a

CHAPTER h 

1 Hosea, to siiew God's judgment for spiritual whoredom, tak- 
eth Gomer, &C....10 Jiidah and Israel restored. 

THE word of the Lord that '" came unto Hosea, 
the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, 
Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the 
days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel. 

2 The beginning of the word of the Lord ii by 
Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take unto 
thee a vyife of whoredoms, and children of whore- 
doms : for the land hath comnaitted ^ great w bore- 
dom, "departing from the Lord. 

3 So he w^ent and took Gomer, the daughter of 
Diblaim ; which conceived, and bare him a son. 

4 And the Lord said unto him. Call his name 
Jezreel ; for yet a little tvhile, and I will avenge tlie 
blood of *" Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will 
cause to cease the kingdom of the * house of Israel. 

5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will 
^ break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel. 

3 T 



G And she conceived again, and bare a daaglitei. 
And God, said unto him, Caliber name Lo-ruhamah : 
for I will s no more have mercy upon the house of 
Israel ; but I will '' utterly take them away. 

; 7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, 

I and will save them 'by the Lord their God, and will 
not save them " by bo\\', nor by sword, 3ior by battle, 
by horses, nor by horsemen. 

i 8 Now when she had ' weaned liO-ruhamah, she 

: conceived, and bare a son. 

9 Then said God, Call his name Lo-ammi : for 
I ye are ■" not my people, and I will not be your Gcd. 

10 Yet the nimiber of the "children of Israel shall 
be as the sand of the sea, which caimot be measured 
nor numbered : and it shall come to pass, that in the 
place where it was said unto them. Ye are not my 
people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye arc the 
" sons of the living God. 

1 1 Then shall the children of Judah and the chil- 
dren of Israel be p gathered together, and appoint

ments against the priests, S^c. CHAPTER 

9 And there shall be, " like people, like priest : and 
I will punish them for their ways, and reward them 
their doings. 

10 For they shall eat, and not have "■ enough ; they 
shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: be- 
cause they have ^left off to take heed to the Lord. 

1 1 Whoredom, and wine, and new wine, take 
away the * heart. 

12 H My people " ask counsel at their stocks, and 
their staff declareth unto them ; for the '' spirit of 
whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have 
gone a whoring from under their God. 

1 3 They sacrifice ui)on the tops of the ^ mountains, 
and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks, and 
poplars, and elms, because the shadow thereof is 
good : ^therefore your daughters shall commit whore- 
dom, and your spouses shall commit adultery. 

14 I will " not punish your daughters when they 
commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they com- 
mit adultery ; for tliemselves are ^ separated with 
whores, and they sacrifice with harlots : therefore 
the pfiople that doth not understand shall fall. 

15 1 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, " yei 
let not Judah offend ; and come not ye unto Gilgal, 
neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear. The Lord 
liveth. 

16 For Israel slideth back as ''a backsliding heifer: 
now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in *^a large 
place. 

17 Ephraim is joined to idols : *" let him alone. 

18 Their drink is ^ sour; they have committed 
whoredom continually: her rulers lOiVA shame do 
love, ^ Give ye. 

19 The wind hath ' bound her up in her wings, and 
they shall be ^ ashamed because of their sacrifices. 

CHAPTER V. 

1 God's judgments against the priests, the people, and tlie prin- 
ces of Israel, for their manifold sins. 
EAR 3^e this/ O priests ; and hearken, ye house 
of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; 
for judgment is toward you, because ye have been 
^ a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

ter, though I have been '^ a rebuker of them all. 

3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is ® not hid from

dom, and Israel is defiled. 

4 They will ^ not frame their doings to turn unto

of them, and they have not known the Lord. 

5 And the pride of Israel doth ^ testify to his face : 
therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their ini- 
quity ; Judah also shaJl fall with them. 

6 They shall go with their flocks and with their

CHAPTER 1. 

Amos sheweth God's judgments upon Syria, &c. 

THE words of Amos, who was among the '^ herd- 
men of "Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel 
in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days 
of Jieroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two 
years before the " earthquake. 

2 And he said, "^ The Lord will ^ roar from Zion, 
and utter his voice from Jerusalem ; and the habita- 
tions of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of 
Carmel shall wither. 

3 Thus saith the Lord, For ^ three transgressions 
of Damascus, and for ^ four, I will not turn away the 
punishment thereof ; because they '' have threshed 
Gilead with threshing-instruments of iron : 

4 But ' I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, 
which shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad. 

5 I will break also the ^ bar of Damascus, and cut 
off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him 
that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden ; 
and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto 
Kir, saitli the Lord. 

6 ^ Thus saith the Lord, For three transgressions 
of Gaza,and for four, I will not turn away the pun-

J The destruction of Edoiu for their pride. ...17 The salvation 
and victory of Jacob. 

HE vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord 
God concerning Edoni, ^ We have heard a ru- 
mour from the Loud, and an ambassador is sent 
among the heathen, " Arise ye, and let us rise up 
against her in battle. 

2 Behold, 1 have made thee " small among the 
heathen : thou art greatly despised. 

3 The pride of thy heart hath '^deceived thee, thou 
that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habita- 
tion is high; that ^ saith in his heart, Who shall bring 
me down to the ground .^ 

4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and 
though thou set thy ^ nest among the stars, thence 
will I bring thee down, saith the Lord. 

5 ^ If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, 
(how art thou cut ofT!) would they not have stolen 
till they had enough.'' if the grape-gatherers came 
to thee, would they '' not leave so7ne grapes ? 

6 How are the |i things of Esau searched out ! 
Ilow are his hidden things sought up ! 

7 All the men of thy ' confederacy have brought 
thee even to the border : the men that were at peace 
w ith thee have ''deceived thee, and prevailed against 
thee ; they thai eat thy bread have laid a wound under 
thee: there is none understanding in him. 

8 .Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, even 
destroy 'the wise men out of Edom, and under- 
standing out of the mount of Esau ? 

9 And thy " mighty mew, O Teman, shall be dis- 
mayed, to the end that every one of the mount of 
Esau may be cut off by slaughter. 

10 For thy "violence against thy brother Jacob,: 
shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off " for : 
evrr. ' 

1 1 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, 
in the day that the ^ strangers carried away captive; 
ills foi-ces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and \ 
■^ cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of j 
them : 



12 But thou shouldest not have 'looked on the day 
of thy brother, hi the day that he became a stranger; 
neither shouldest thou have ^ rejoiced over the chil- 
dren of Judah in the day of theirdestruction ; neither 
shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of 
distress. 

13 Thou shouldest 'not have entered into the gate 
; of my peoi)le in the day of their calamity ; yea, thou 
I shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the 
; day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their 
i substance in the day of their calamity : 

! 14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the cross- 
; way, to cut off those of his that did esca])e ; neither 
; shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that 
I did remain in the day of distress. 
I 13 For the " day of the Lord is near upon all the 
I heathen : ^ as thou hast done, it shall be done unto 
i thee ; thy reward shall return upon thine own head. 
; 16 For as ^ ye have drunk upon my holy rnoun- 
: tain, so shall all the heathen drink continually ; yea, 
: they shall drink, and they shall ^ swallow down, and 
I they shall be as though they had not been. 
I 17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, 
: and there shall be holiness ; and the house of Jacob 
' " shall possess their possessions. 
i 18 And the ^ house of Jacob shall be a fire, and 
■the house of Joseph a flame, and the house oi Esau 
; for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour 
\ them ; and there shall not be any remaining of the 
I house of Esau : for the Lord hath spoken it. 
: 19 And they of the south shall possess the •■ mount 
: of Esau ; and they of the plain the Philistines : and 
: they shall possessthefields of Ephraim, and the fields 
of Samaria ; and Benjamin shall possess Gilead. 

20 And the captivity of this host of the children of 
Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto 
Zarephath ; and the captivity of Jerusalem, '^ which 
15 in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south. 

21 And * saviours shall come up on mount Zion 
to judge the mount of Esau ; and the "^ kingdom shall 
be the Lord's.

CHAPTER I. 

1 Jonah, sent to Nineveh, fleeth to Tarsliish : 4 He is over- 
taken by a tempest,, and thrown into the sea, &c. 
OW the word of the Lord came ^ unto Jonah, 
the son of Aniittai, saying, 

2 Arise, go to Nineveh, " that great city, and cry 
against it ; lor their wickedness is come up " before 
nic. 

3 But Jonah rose up '' to flee unto Tarshish ® from 
the presence of the Lord, and went down to Jop- 
pa ; and he found a ship going to Tarshish : so he 
paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go 
with them unto Tarshish ^ from tlie presence of the 
Lord. 

4 But the Lord 'sent out a great wind into the 
sea, and there was a mighty tenipest in the sea, so 
that the shii) was like to be broken. 

5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every 
man ^ unto his god, and '' cast fortli the wares that 
ivere in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them : 
but Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship ; 
and lie lay, and was ' fast asleep. 

6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto 
him, "What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, 'call 
upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, 
that we |)erish not. 

7 And they said every one to his fellow. Come, and 
let us ■" cast lots, that we may know for whose cause 
this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot 
" fell upon Jonah. 

8 Then said they tmto him, " Tell us, we i)ray thee, 
for whose cause this evil is upon us : What is ^ thine 
occupation? and whence comest thou ? what w thy 
country ? and of what i)eople art thou ? 

9 And he said unto them, I "^ am a Hebrew ; and 
■" I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, which hath 
made the sea and the dry land. 

10 Then were the men exceedingly 'afraid, and 
said unto him. Why hast ' thou done this ? (for the 
men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord, 
because he had told them.) 

11 Then said they unto him, " What shall we do 
unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us ? (for 
the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.) 

12 And he said unto them, ''Take me u|), and cast 
me forth into the sea ; so shall the sea bt calm imto 
you : for I know that ^ for my sake this great tem- 
pest is upon yon. 

13 Nevertheless, the men ^ rowed hard to bring it 
to the land ; but they '^ could not : for the sea wrought, 
and was tempestuous against them. 

14 Wherefore they cried unto the Lord, and said, 
AVe beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech thee, let us 
not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us 
innocent blood : for thou, O Lord, hast done '' as it 
pleased thee. 

15 So they took up Jonah, and '=cast him forth into 
the sea ; and the sea ^ ceased from her raging. 

16 Then the men " feared tJie Lord exceedingly, 
and ^ offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, and made 
vows. 

17 Now the Lord had ^ prepared a great fish to 
swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of 
the fish three days and ''three nights.

CHAPTER II. 

1 The prayer of Jonah : 10 He is delivered out of the belly 
of the tish. 

THEN Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God "out 
of the fish's belly, 

2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction 
unto the Lord, and he ''heard me; out of the belly 

|of hell cried 1, and thou heardest my voice. 

3 For thou hadst cast " me into the deep, in the 
: midst of the seas ; and the floods '' compassed mc 
: about: all thy billows and thy waves pa,sse(l over me. 
: 4 Then " 1 .said, I am cast out of thy sight ; yet I 
:will Hook again toward thy holy temple. 
i 5 The ^ waters compassed me about even to the 
I soul : the depth closed me round about, the weeds 

were wrapped about my head. 

6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains ; 
: the earth with her bars was about me for ever : '' yet >> con. 22, 
; hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O Lord 
; my God. 

I 7 When my soul fainted within me ' I remembered 
I the Lord ; and my prayer came in unto thee, into 

thy holy temple. 

8 They that observe lying vanities ^ forsake their 
own mercy. 

9 But 1 will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of 
' thanksgiving ; I will pay that that I have vowed. 
Salvation is of the Lord. 

10 And the Lord ""spake unto the fish, and it 
' vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. 
\ CHAPTER in. 

I Jonah, sent again, preacheth to the Ninevites, &c. 

AND the ^vord of the Lord came unto Jonah the 
" second time, saying, 
i 2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and 
I preach unto it the preaching '' that I bid thee. 
I 3 So Jonah arose, and " went unto Nineveh, accord- 
ing to the word of the Lord. (Now Nineveh was 
an exceeding great city, of three days' journey.) 

4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's 
journey ; and he cried, and said, '^ Yet forty days, 
and Nineveh shall be overthrown. 

3 So the " people of Nineveh believed God, and 
proclaimed a fast, and put en sackcloth, from the 
greatest of them even to the least of them. 

6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and 
' he arose i'rom his throne, and he laid his robe froin 
him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in 
ashes. 

7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and ^ pub- 
lished through Nineveh, (by the decree of the king 
and his nobles,) saying. Let neither man nor beast, 
herd nor flock, taste any thing; let them not feed, nor 
drink water : 

8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, 
and cry nnghtily unto God : yea, let them ''tiun every 
one Irom his evil way, and from the violence that is 
in their hands. 

9 ' Who can tell ?/God will turn and re]HMit, and 
turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not ? 

10 And God " saw their works, that they turned 
from their evil way ; a-nd God repented of the evil 
tliat he had said that he would do unto them ; and he 
did it not.

'^ Morasthite, in the days of Jothara, Ahaz, and

Samaria and Jerusalem. 

2 \ Hear, " all ye p(>ople ; hearken, O earth, and

3 For, beliold, the Lord ^ cometh forth out of h.is

places of the earth. 

4 And the ^ mountains shall be molten under him, 
and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the 
fire, and as tlie v/aters tliat are poured down a stee[) 
place. 

5 For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for

cruelty of the prinvcs. CHAPTER 

8 Even of late my people Ls "risen upas aneneniy : I 
ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that| 
pass by securely as men averse from war. ; 

9 The women of my people have ye cast out from \ 
their pleasant houses; from their children have ye? 
taken away my glory for ever. 1 

1 Arise ye, and depart ; for this is not your '' rest : j 
because it is ^ polluted, it shall destroy t/om, even with? 
a sore destruction. \ 

11 if a man, "" walking in the spirit and falsehood 5 
do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of ^ wine, 
and of strong drink ; he shall even be the prophet of 
this people. 

12 1 will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee ; 1 
will surely ' gather the remnant of Israel ; I will put 
them together as the sheep of " Bozrah, as the flock \ 
in the midst of their fold : they shall make great? 
noise by reason of the multitude of men. | 

13 T'le '^ breaker is come up before them : they ^ 
have broken up, and have passed through the gate,? 
and are gone out by it : and ^' their king shall pass < 
before them, and the Lord on the head of theui. \ 

CHAPTER III. \ 

1 The cruelty of the princes.. ..5 The falsehood of the prophets. < 
8 The security of them both. \ 

AND I said. Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, j 
and ye princes of the house of Israel ; Is it not \ 
'" for you to know judgment ? 

2 vVho ^ hate the good, and love the evil ; who 
" pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh 
from off their bones ; 

3 Who also '^ eat the flesh of my peoi)le, and flay 
their skin from off them ; and they break their bones, . 
and chop them in pieces as for the pot, and as flesh 
within the caldron. 

4 Then shall they ^cry unto the Lord, but he will 
not hear them ; he will even hide his face from them 
at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in 
their doings. 

5 Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets 
that make my people err, that ' bite with their teeth, 
and cry. Peace : and he that ^ putteth not into their 
mouths, they even prepare war against him : 

6 Tlierefore ''night shall be unto you, that yef 
shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto? 
you, that ye shall not divine ; and the sun shall go I 
down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark I 
over them. ^ 

7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the divin- i 
ers confounded : yea, they shall all cover their 'lips ; \ 
for there is no '' answer of God. I 

8 But truly I am ' full of power by the Spirit of J 
the Lord, and of judgment, and of might, to declare \ 
unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin. \ 

9 Hear this, 1 pray you, ye heads of the house of ^ 
Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor I 
judgment, and pervert all equity. I 

10 They build up Zion "" \A'ith blood, and Jerusa- < 
lem with iniquity. j 

11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the? 
priests thereof "teach for hire,and the prophets thereof? 
divine for money : yet will they " lean upon the Lord, s 
and say. Is not the Lord among us ? none evil can i 
come uiion us. < 

12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed \ 
as a held ; and Jerusalem shall become p heaps; and \ 
the mountain of the house as the high places of the ? 
forest. \

"mountain of the house of the Lord shall be 
estaljlished in the top of the mountains, and it shall 
be exalted above the hills ; and " people shall flow 
unto it. 

2 And "^ many nations shall come and say. Come, 
and let us go up to the rnountain of the Lord, and to 
the house of the God of Jacob ; and he will teach us 
of his ways, and we will walk in his paths : for the 
law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord 

"^ from Jerusalem. d^Luke24, 

3 And he shall ^ judge among many people, and acui, s. 
rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat 
their swords into plow-shares, and their spears into 
pruning-hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against 
nation, neither shall ^ they learn war any more. 

4 But they shall ^ sit every manunder his vine, and 
under his flg-tree; and none shall make them afraid : 
for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it. 

5 For all ijcople will walk every one in the name 

of '' his god, and we will walk in the name of the '■•'"•■'.s. 
Lord ' our God for ever and ever. 'zed.. lo, 

6 In that day, saith the Lord, will I assemble '" 

her that '' halteth, and I will gather her that is ' driven k is«- ss, s. 
cut, and her that I have afflicted ; i jer. 3, is. 

7 And I will make her that halted a remnant, and fi^t^'' 
her tliat was cast far off "" a strong nation : and the J^^^ 
"Lord shall reign over them in mount Zion from "l.^"'" 
henceforth, even for ever. nisa. 9,6. 

8 And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold 

of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even oisam.so, 
the flrst dominion ; the kingdom shall come to the pV 119,94, 
daughter of Jerusalem. 

9 Now why dost thou "cry out aloud ? is there ^ no 
king in thee ? is thy counsellor perished ? for 1 pangs 
have taken thee as a woman in travail. 

10 ^Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O 
daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail ; for 'now ''^'"" ^'^'^ 
shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt '"<"^'0'3- 
* dwell in the field, and thou shalt " go even to Baby- «"»'• ^.s. 
Ion ; ^ there shalt thou be delivered ; there the Lord ^ Rev. is, 
shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies. 

11 Now also y many nations are gathered against sb"""''^^ 
thee, that say. Let her be defiled, and let our eye y ^^p,,, ^2, 
look upon Zion. ^.^^^ ,5 j** 

12 But they know not the ^thoughts of the Lord, zedl, i'i,i 
neither imderstand they his coimsel : for he shall ii.<a. ss, s.

will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs ''is-"ai.4i

and I will ''consecrate their gain unto the Lord, and

CHAPTER J. 

The majesty of God in goodness to his people, and severitj' 

against his enemies. 
ril HE burden of ''Nineveh. The book of the 
Jl vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. 

2 God is "jealous, and the Lord revengeth ; the 
Lord revengeth, and is furious : the Lord will take 
vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth 
ivraiJi for his enemies. 

3 The Lord is "- slow to auger, and great in pow- 
er, and will not at all acquit the luicked : the Lord 
hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and 
the clouds are the dust of his feet. 

4 He '' rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and 
drieth up all the rivers : Bashan languishcth, and 
Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. 

5 The ® mountains quake at him, and the hills 
melt, and the eartii is burned at his presence, yea, 
^ the world, and all that dwell therein. 

6 ^ Who can stand before his indignation ? and 
who can abide in the fierceness of his anger ? his 
fury is '' poured out like fire, and the rocks are 
thrown down by him. 

7 The Lord is ' good, a strong hold in the day 
of trouble ; and he ^ knoweth them that trust in 
him 

8 'But with an over-running flood he will make 
an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall 
pursue his enemies. 

9 What do ye " imagine against the Lord ? he 
will make an utter end ; affliction shall not rise up 
the second time. 

, 10 For while they he " folden together as thorns, 
and while they are drunken as diimkards, they shall 
be devoured as stubble fully dry. 

11 There is one come out of thee that itnagineth 
evil against the Lord, a ° wicked counsellor. 

12 Thus saith the Lord, Though they he p quiet, 
and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, 
\vhsn he shall pass through. Though 1 have '^ af- 
flicted thee, I will afflict thee ' no more. 

13 For now will I ° break his yoke from off thee, 
and will burst thv bonds in sunder. 

14 And the Lord hath * given a commandmen

concerning thee, that no more of thy " name be sown : « f-"' '°'''-

^ see. 

2 O Lord, '^ how long shall I cry, and thou wilt 
•^ not hear ! even cry out unto thee 0/ violence, and 
thou wilt not save ! 

3 Why dost thou '^ shew me iniquity, and- cause 
me to behold grievance '' for spoiling and violence 
are before me : and there are that raise up strife and 
contention. 

4 Therefore thelawis ''slacked, and judgment doth 
never go forth : for the wicked doth ^ compass about 
the righteous; ^therefore wrongjudgmentproceedeth. 

5 S Behold ye among ther heathen, and regard, 
and wonder marvellously : for I will '' work a work 
in your days, ivhich ye will ' not believe, though it 
be told you. 

6 For; I05 i raise up the ^ Chaldeans, that bitter 



and 'hasty nation, which shall march through the i isa. 5, 26. 
breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling-places Jer. 25; 38. 
that are not theirs. 

7 They are terrible and dreadful : their judgment 
and their dignity shall proceed of themselves. 

8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, 

and are more fierce than the " evening wolves : and _. 
their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their zepT.'3,'3! 
horsemen shall come from far ; they shall fly as the 
" eagle ^/to^ hasteth to eat. _ _ njer. 4.13. 

9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall Ezek.W.io 
sup up as the ° east wind, and they shall gather the « isa. 27,5. 
captivity as the sand. _ ■'"""' *' ^ 

10 And they shall scoff ^ at the kings, and the p. 3 ^ings 
princes shall be a scorn unto them : they shall deride -s. 'o- 
every strong hold ; for they shall ^ heap dust, and 
take it.

CHAPTER I. 

1 When Zephaniah prophesied. ...2 God's severe judgment 
against Judah for divers sins. 

THE * word of tlie Lord which came unto Ze- 
phaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, 
the son of Amaiiah, the sori of Hizkiah, in the days 
of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah. 

2 I will utterly '^consume all tilings from off the 
land, saiththe Lord. 

3 1 will consume " man and beast ; 1 will consume 
the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea ; 
and the "^ stumbling-blocks with the wicked ; and 1 
will cut off man from off the land, saith the Lord. 

4 I will also stretch out my hand upon Judah, and 
upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem ; and I will 
cut off the remnant of ^ Baal from this place, and 
the name of the Chemarims with the priests; 

5 And them that worship the host of heaven upon 
the house-tops ; and them that worship and that 
^ swear by the Lord, and that swear by Malcham ; 

6 And them that are ^ turned back from the Lord ; 
and ^/i05e that have ""not sought theLoRD, nor inquired 
for him. 

7 * Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord God; 
for the day of the Lord is at hand : for the Lord 
hath prepared ''a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests. 

8 And it shall come to pass in the day of the Lord's 
sacrifice, that 1 will punish the princes, and the 'king's 
children, and all such as are clothed with strange ^ 
apparel, _ _ | 

9 In the same day also will I punish all those that i 
leap on the tlireshold, which " fill their masters' i 
houses with violence and deceit. \ 

10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the f 
Lord, iliat there shall be the " noise of a cry from the \ 
fish-gate, and a howling from the second, and a great 
crashing from the hills. 

.11 ° Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the 
merchant people are cut down ; all they that bear 
silver are cut off. 

12 And it shall come to pass at that time, thatl wiW 
Psearca Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men 
that are ^ settled on their lees ; that say in their heart. 
The Lord will not "'do good, neither will he do evil. 

13 Therefore their goods ^ shall become a booty, 
and their houses a desolation : they shall also build 
houses, but not inhabit ihem ; and they shall plant 
vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof. 

14 The ^ great day of the Lord is near, it is near, ; 
and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the | 
Lokd : the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. ' 

15 " That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble i 
and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, aj 
day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and i 
thick darkness, i

CHAPTER I. 

2 Haggai, reproving the people's negligence, 7 inciteth them 
to build the house. 
N the ^ second year of Darius the king, in tlie sixth 
— month, in the first day of the month, came the 
word of the Lord, by Haggai the prophet, unto ^Ze- 
r ubbabel the son of Shealtiel,governor of Judah,and to 
*= Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying, 

2 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying. This 
people '' say. The ^ time is not come, the time that 
the Lord's house should be built. 

3 ^ Then came the word of the Lord by Haggai 
the prophet, saying, 

4 75 it s time for you, O ye, to dwell '' in your 
ceiled houses, and this house lie waste ? 

5 Now, therefore, thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
' Consider your ways. 



I 6 Ye have ^ sown much, and bring in little ; ye j^ueui.28, 

I eat, but ye have not enough ; ye driidc, but ye are not aiic. 6, 14. 

I filled with drink ; ye clothe you, but there is none 

^ warm ; and he that earneth wages, earncth wages 

i to put it into a bag with holes.

I '" build the house ; and I will take pleasure in it, and 

i I will be glorified, saith the Lord. 

I 9 Ye looked for niuch, and lo, it came to little ; 

and when ye brought it home, I did ° blow upon it. 

Why ? saith the Lord of hosts. " Because of my 

house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his

the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the 
Lord their God, and the words of Haggai, the pro- 
phet, (as the Lord their God had sent him,) and the 
people did fear before the Lord. 

13 Then spake Haggai, the Lord's messenger, 
in the Lord's message unto the people, saying, ' I 
am with you, saith the Lord. 

14 And the Lord * stirred up the spirit of Zerub-

the priests answered and said, ' No.

the priests answered and said. It shall be unclean. ^''

month, which is the month Sebat, in ihe second year 
of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zecha- 
riah, the son of Barachiah, the son of Iddo the pro- 
phet, saying, 

8 I saw by night, and, behold, ' a man riding upon 
^ a red horse, and he stood among the ' myrtle-trees 
that ivere in the bottom ; and behind him ivere there 
red horses, speckled, and white. 

9 Then said I, O my lord, " what are these ? And 
the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will 
shew thee what these be. 

10 And the man that stood among the myrtle- 
trees answered and said, These are they whom the 
Lord hath ° sent to walk to and fro through the earth. 

1 1 And they answered the angel of the Lord that 
stood among the myrtle-trees, and said, We have 
° walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, 
all the earth ^ sitteth still, and is at rest. 

12 Then the ''ajigelofthe Lord answered and said, 

Lord of hosts, 4iow long wilt thou not have meycy \ 
on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah,agaiast which ' 
thou hast had indignation these ^ threescore and ten 
years ? 

13 And the Lord answered the angel that talked 
with me with ' good words, and comfortable words. 

14 So the angel that communed with me said unto 
me, Cry thou, saying. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 

1 am "jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a 
great jealousy. 

15 And I am ^ very sore displeased with the hea- 
then that are at ease: fori was but a little displeased, 
and they ^ helped forward the affliction. 

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord, ^ I am returned 
to Jerusalem with mercies: ''my house shall be built 
in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and a line shall be 
stretched forth upon Jerusalem. 

17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
My cities through prosperity shall yet be ^ si)read 
abroad ; and the Lord shall yet comfort Zion, and 
shall yet choose Jerusalem. 

18 It Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and, 
behold, ' four horns. 

19 And I said unto the angel that talked with me. 
What be these ? And he answered me. These are 
the horns which have "^ scattered Judah, Israel, and 
Jerusalem. 

20 And the Lord shewed me four ® carpenters. 

21 Then said I, What come these to do ? And he

3 Now Joshua was clothed with * filthy garments,

Of the Years and Times from Adam unto Christy proved by the Scriptures, from the collation of divers Authors 



The 3«m of the years of the Jirst eige* 

FROM Adam unlo Moali's flooil are years 16S6. 
For Ailam being ISO years olil, hegat Setb. 
Beth, heiiig- )05 years, bej^at Enos. 
Eiios, beinn: 90 years, he^Al Cain;.n. 
Cainnii, being 70 years, begat Malialaleel. 
Mahalaleel, being 65 yeais, begat Jared. 
Jared, at the age of 162, begat Enoch. 
Enncli, being 65 years, begat Metliiiselah. 
Rletliuselah, at the age of 187, begat Lantech. 
Lamecli, being 182 years, begat Noali. 
Noah, at the coming of tlie flood, was 600 years 
old, as appearetli in t!ie 7th chapter of Genesis. 
The wliole sum of the years are leS*!. 

From tlip flood of Noah unto Abraliani's departing 

fi'om ChaUlea, were 422 yeai-s and ten days. 
For the said flood continued one whole year and 

ten days. 
Sliem (who .vas Noah's son) begat Ai'phaxadtwo 

years after that. 
Arphaxad begat Salan when he was 35 years old. 
Satah, l)emg 30 years old, begat Eber. 
Eljer, at the age of 34, begat Peleg. 
Peleg, being 30 years, hegat Reu. 
Keu, being 32 years, begiit Serug. 
Serug, being 30 years, begat Nahor. 
Nahor, b^-ing 29 years, begat Terah. 
Terah, being 130 years, begat Abrani. 
And Abraiiam departed from Cbeddea when he 

was 70 years old. 

These, accounted, are 422 years and 10 days. 

Froni Abraham's departing from Ur in Chaldea, 
unto the departing of the children ol Israel, are 
430 years, gathered as followeth : 



Abraham was in Charran five years, and departed 

in the 75lh year : 
Begat Isaac when 100 years old, in the 25th year 

of his departing. 
Isaac begat Jacob, when 60 years old. 
Israel ivas in Egypt 220 years. 
Then deduct 80 years from this ; for so old was 

IVIoses when he conducted the Israelites from 

Egypt, 
bo the rest of the years, that is to say, 130, are 

divided between Amram and Kuhath. 
Then Koliath iiegat Amram at the age of 67 years. 
Anii--tm, being 65 years, begat Moses, who, in the 

80tli year of his age, departed with the Israel- 
ites from Egypt. 
So this chronology is the 430 years mentioned in 

the 12th chapter of Exodus, and the 3d chapter 

to the Gahitians. 

From the going forth of the Israelites from Egypt, 
unto the firs', building of the temple, are 480 
years, after this chronology and account. 

Moses remained in the desert or wilderness 40 
years. 

Joshua and Othulel ruled 40 years. 

Ehud, 80 years. 

Deborah, 40 years. 

Gidaon, 40 years. 

Abimelech, 3 years. 

Tola, 23 years. 

J air, 22 years. 

Then they were without a captain, until the 18th 
year of Jephtliah. 

Jephthrih, 6 years. 

Ibian, 7 years. 



Elon, 10 years. 
Abdon, 8 years. 
Samson, 20 years. 
Eli, judge and priest, 44 years. 
Samuel and Saul reigned 40 years. 
David was king 40 years- 
Solomon, in the 4th year of his reign, began the 

building of the temple. 
These are the 480 years mentioned in the first 

Book of Kings, chapter 6. 

From the first building of the temple, unto the 
captivity of Babylon, are 419 yeeirs and ahalf. 
Solomon reigned yet 36 years. 
Rehoboam, 17 years. 
Abijam, 3 yeais. 
Asa, 41 years. 
Jchoshaphat, 25 years. 
Jehoram, 8 years. 
Ahaziah, 1 year. 
Alhaliah, the queen, 7 years. 
Jehoash, 40 years. 
Amaziah, 29 years. 
Uziiab, 52 years. 
Jehoahaz, 16 years. 
Ahaz, 16 years. 
Hezekiah, 29 years. 
Manasseh, 55 years. 
Anion, 2 years. 
Josiah, 31 years. 
Jehoahaz, 3 months. 
Eliakiin, 11 years. 
Jehoiachin, Jechonias, 3 months. 
And here beginnetb the captivity of Babylon. 
Tiie sum of these years is 419 and 6 months. 



Jerusalem was re-edified, and built again, after 
the captivity of Babylon, 70 years. 

The captivity continued 70 years. 

The children of Israel were delivered the first 
ye2ir of Cyrus. 

The temple wa.s begun to be built in the second 
year of the said Cyrus, and finished in the 40th 
year, which was the 6th year of Darius. After 
that Darius had reigned 20 years, Nehemiah 
was restored to liberty, and went to build the 
city, wliich was finished In the 32(.l year of the 
said Darius. 

All the years from th<> building of the tempio 
again, are 26 years. 

The whole sum of years amounts to 70. 

From the re-edifying of the city, unto the coming 
of Christ, are 483 years after this chronology. 

It is mentioned in the ninth chapter of Daniel, 
that Jerusalem should be built up again, and 
that from that time unto the coming of Christ 
are 69 weeks, and every week is reckoned for 
7 years. So 69 weeks amount to 483 years : for 
from the 32d year of Darkis unto the 42d year 
of Augustus, in which year our Saviour Christ 
was born, are just and complete so many years j 
whereupon we reckon, that from Adam untc 
Christ are 3974 years, 6 months, and ten days ; 
and from the birth o£^ Christ unto this present 
year, is 1823. 

Then the whole sum and number of years, from, 
the beginning of the world unto this present 
year of our Lord God 1 823, are 5797 years, 6 
months, and the said odd ten days.

much laniente(1..34His successovs....SS The temple, city, and many pevple are destroy- 
ed ....5G The reht ai'e carried unto Babylon, 

ND Josias held the ° fpast of the passover in Jerusalem 
unto his Lord, and otf'°red the passover the fourteenth day 
of tiie first month ; 

2 Having set the priestr according to their daily courses, be- 
ing arrayed in long garments, in the temple of the Lord. 

3 And he spake unto the Levites, the holy ministers of Israel, 
that they should hallow themselves unto the Lord, to set tlie ho- 
ly ark of the Lord in the house that king Solomon the son of 
David had built : 

4 And said, Ye shall no more bear the ark upon your shoul- 
ders : now therefore serve the Lord your God, and minister un- 
to his people Israel, and prepare you after your families and 
kindreds. 

5 According as David the king of Israel prescribed, and ac- 
cording to the magnificence of Solomon his son : and standing 
in the temple according to the several dignity of the families of 
you the Levites, who minister in the presence of your brethren 
the children of Israel. 

6 Offer the passover in order, and make ready the sacrifices 
for your brethren, and keep the passover according to the com- 
mandment of the Lord, v/hich was given unto Moses. 

7 And unto the people that was found there Josias gave thir- 
ty thousand lambs and kids, and three thousand calves : these 
things were given of the king's allowance, according as he 
promised to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. 

8 And Helkias, Zacharias, and 1| Syelus, tlie governors of the 
temple, gave to the priests for the passover two thousand and 
six hundred sheep, and three hundred calves. 

9 And Jeconias, and Samaias, and Nathanael his brother, and 
Assabias, and Ochiel, and Joram, captains over thousands, 
gave to the Levites for the passover five thousand sheep, and 

II seven hundred calves. 

10 And when these things were done, the priests and Levites 
having the unleavened bread, stood in very comely order ac- 
cording to the kindreds. 

11 And according to the several dignities of the fathers be- 
fore the people, to offer to the Lord, as it is written in the book 
of ftloses : '' p^d thus did they in the morning. 

] 2 And they roasted the passover with fire, as appertaineth : 
as for the sacrifices, they sod them in brass pots, and pans, 
II with a good savour, 

13 And set them before all the people : and afterward they 
prepared for tliemselves, and for the priests their brethren, the 
sons of Aaron. 

14 For the priests offered the fat until night : and the Le- 
vites prepared for themselves, and the priests their brethren, the 
sons of Aaron. 

1 5 The holy singers also, the sons of Asaph, were in their or- 
der, according to the appointment = of David, to wit, Asaph, 
Zacharias, and Jeduthun, who was '' of the king's retinue. 

1 6 Moreover, tiie porters were at every gate ; it was not law- 
ful for any to go from his ordinary service ; for their brethren 
the Levites prepared for tiiem. 

] 7 Thus were the things that belonged to the sacrifices of the 
Lord accomplished in that day, that they miglit hold the pass- 
over, 

18 And offer sacrifices upon the altar of the Lord, according 
to tiie commanelment of king Josias. 

ly So the children of Israel which were present held the pass- 
over at that time, and the feast of sweet bre;id seven days. 

20 And such a passover was not kept in Israel since the time 
of the prophet Samuel. 

21 Yea, all the kings of Israel held not such a passover as 
Josias, and the priests, and the Levites, and the Jews, h.eld 
with all Israel that were found dwelling at Jerusalem. 



22 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias was this pass- 
over kept. 

23 And the works of Josias were upright before his Lord, 
with a heart full of godliness. 

24 As for the things that came to pass in his time, thev were 
written in former times, concerning those that sinned, and 
lldid wickedly against the Lord above all people and kingdoms, 
and how they grieved him ij exceedingly, so that the words of 
the Lord rose up against Israel. 

2:) ' Now after all these acts of Josias it came to pass, that 
Pharaoh the king of Egj^pt came to raise war at Carchamis up- 
on Euphrates : and Josias went out against him. 

26 But the king of Egypt sent to him, saying, What have I 
to do with thee, O king of Judea ? 

27 I am not sent out from the Lord God against thee ; for 
my war is upon Euphrates : and now the Lord is with me, yea, 
the Lord is with me hasting me forward : depart from me, and 
be not against the Lord. 

28 Howbeit Josias did not turn back his chariot from him, 
but undertook to fight with him, not regarding the words of the 
prophet Jeremy, spoken by the mouth of the Lord : 

29 But joined battle with him in the plain of Megiddo, and 
the princes came against king Josifis. 

30 Then said the king unto his servants, Carry me away out 
of the battle; for I am very weak. And ininediately his ser- 
vants took liim away out of the battle. 

3 1 Then gat lie up upon his second chariot : a id being brought 
back to Jerusalem died, and was buried in h's lather's sepulchre. 

32 And in all Jewry tliey mourned for Josias, yea, Jeremy 
the prophet lamented for Josias, and tJit- chief men with the wo- 
men made lamentation foi him unto this day : and this was giv- 
en out for an ordinance to be done continually in all the nation 
of Israel. 

33 These things are written in the book of the stories of the 
kings of Judah, and every one of the acts that Josias did, and 
Iiis glory, and his understanding in tlie law of the Lord, and the 
tilings that he had done before, and the things now recited, are 
reported in the book of the kings of Israel and Judea. 

34 ' And the people took Joacha/. the son of Josias, and 
made him king instead of Josias his father, when he was twenty 
and tliree years old. 

35 And he reigned in Judea and in Jerusalem tliree months : 
and then the king of Egypt deposed him from reigning in 
Jerusalem. 

36 And he set a tax upon the land of a hundred talents of 
silver and one talent of gold. 

37 '^I'he king of Egypt also made king Joacini his brother 
king of Judea and Jerusalem. 

38 And he bound Joacim and the nobles : but Zaraces his 
brother he apprehended, and brought him out of Egypt. 

39 Five antl twenty jears old was ? Joacim when he was 
made king in the land of Judea and Jerusalem ; and he did evil 
before the Lord. 

40 Wherefore against him Nabuchodonosor the king of 
Babylon came up, and bound him with a chain of brass, and 
carried him into Babylon. 

41 (Nabuchodonosor also took of the holy vessels of the 
Lord, and carried them awaj', and set tliera in his own temple 
at Babylon.) 

42 But tiiose things that are recorded of him, and of his un- 
cleanness and impiety, are written in the ciironiclcs of the kings. 

43 And Joacini his son reigned in his stead : he was made 
king being eighteen years old ; 

44 And reigned but liiree months and ten days in Jerusalem, 
and did evil before the Lord. 

45 So. after a year Nabucliodonosor sent and caused him to 
be brought into Babylon with the holy vessels of the Lord, 

46 And made Zedechias king of Judea and Jerusalem, when

lie was one and twenty years old ; and he reigned eleven y«ars : 

47 And he did evil also in the sight of tlie Lord, and cared 
not for the words tliat were spoken unto him by the prophet 
Jeremy from tiie mouth of the Lord. 

48 And after that king Nabuchodonosor had made hiui to 
sv/ear by the name of the Lord, he forswore himself and re- 
belled, and hardening his neck and his heart, he transgressed 
the laws of tiie Lord God of Israel. 

49 The governois also of the people and of the priests did ma- 
ny things against the laws, and passed all the pollutions of all 
nations, and defiled the temple of the Lord, which was sancti- 
fied in Jerusalem. 

50 Nevertheless, the God of their fathers sent by his messen- 
ger to call them back, because he spared them and his taber- 
nacle also. 

51 But they had his messengers in derision ; and look, when 
the lord spake unto them, they made a sport of his prophets : 

52 So far forth, that he, being wroth witli his people for their 
great ungodliness, commanded the kings of the Chaldees to 
come up against them ; 

53 Who slew their young men with the sword, yea, even 
within the compass of their holy temple, and spared neither 
young man nor maid, old man nor child, among them ; for he 
delivered all into their hands. 

54 And they took all tlie holy vessels of the Lord, both great 
and small, with the vessels of the ark of God, and the king's 
treasures, and carried them away into Babylon. 

55 As for the house of the Lord, they burnt it, and brake 
down the walls of Jerusalem, and set fire upon her towers : 

56 And as for her glorious things, they never ceased till they 
had consumed and brought them all to nought : and the people 
that were not slain with the sword, he carried unto Babylon

also by writing, 

3 Saying, Thus saith Cyrus, king of the Persians ; The Lord 
of Israel, the most high Lord, hath made me king of the whole 
world, 

4 And commanded me to build him a house at Jerusalem in 
Jewry. 

5 If therefore there be any of you that are of his people, let

eth neither king nor governor ; and it maketh to speak all 
things by talents : 

22 And when tliey are in tlieir cups, they forget their love 
both to friends and brethren, and a little after draw out .'words : 

23 But when they are from the wine, they remember not 
what they have done. 

24 O ye men, is not wine the strongest, that enforceth to do 
thus ? And when he had so spoken, he held his peace. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 The secon 1 (loclareth Ibe power of a king •• the third tlie force of women, and of truth. 
41 The third Is judged to he wisest, and ohtainelli letters of the king to huihlJerusalein: 
58 Hepraiseth God, and slieweth Ids brethrenwhat he Iiad done. 

THEN the .second, that had spoken of the strength of the 
king-, began to say, 

that II bear rule 



2 Oye men, do not men excel in strength, 
over sea and land, and all things in them ? 

3 But yet the king is more mighty : for he is lord of all these 
things, and hath dominion over them ; and whatsoever he com- 
mandeth them they do. 

4 If he bid them make war the one against the other, they 
do it ; if he send them out against the enemies, they go, and 
break down mountains, walls, and towers. 

5 They slay and are slain, and transgress not the king's com- 
mandment : if they get the victory, they bring all to the king, 
as well the spoil, as all things else. 

6 Likewise for those that are no soldiers, and have not to 
do with wars, but use husbandry, wlien they have reaped again 
that which they had sown, they bring it to the king, and com- 
pel one another to pay tribute unto the king 



24 And looketh upon a lion, and goeth in the darkness; and 
when he hath stolen, spoiled, and robbed, he bringeth it to 
his love. 

25 Wherefore a man loveth his wife better than father or n or, 
mother. grown dtt. 

26 Yea, many there be that have || run out of their wits for ''*'^° 
women, and become servants for their sakes. 

27 Many also have perished, have erred, and sinned, for 
women. 

28 And now do ye not believe me ? is not the king great in 
his power ? do not all regions fear to touch him .f" 

2d Yet did I see him and Apame the king's concubine, the S'\7''^a"M. 
daughter of the admirable || Bartacus, sitting at the right hand Rabsa^fs ' 

of the king, Thcmasiu. 

30 And taking the crown from the king's head, and setting it 
upon her own head ; she also struck the king v/ith her left hand. 

31 And yet || for ail this the king gaped and gazed upon her U Or,here- 
with open mouth ; if she laughed upon him, he laughed also ; "*■ 

i but if she took any displeasure at him, the king was fain to 
> flatter, that she might || be reconciled to him again. 
i 32 O ye men. how can it be but women should be strong, 
seeing they do thus ? 

33 Then the king and the princes looked one upon another: 
so he began to speak of tlie truth. 

34 O ye men, are not women strong ? great is the earth, 
high is the lieaven, swift is the sun in his course, for he com- 
passeth the heavens round about, and fetcheth his course again 
to his own place in one day. 

35 Is he not great that maketh these things ? therefore great 
is the trnth, and stronger than all things.

blessfcth it : all works shake and tremble at it, and with it is no Mhan'J^.

ed works ; and there is no truth in them ; in their unrighteous 
ness also they shall perish. 

38 As for the truth, it endureth, and is alwaj's strong; it 
liveth and conquereth for evermore. 

39 With her there is no accepting of persons or rewards ; but 

7 And yet he is but one man : if he command to kill, they ^ she doeth the things that are just, and refraineth from all unjust 
kill ; if he command to spare, they spare ; i and wicked things ; and all men do well like of her works, 

8 If he command to smite, they smite ; if he command to? 40 Neither in her judgment is any unrighteousness; and she-

they build ; J Blessed be the God of trutii. 

9 If he command to cut down, they cut down; if he com- 5 41 And with that he held his peace. And all the people then

he lieth down, he eateth and drinketh, and taketh his rest 

11 And these keep watch round about him, neither jj may 
any one depart, and do his own business, neither disobey they 
him in any thing. 

12 O ye men, how should not the king be mightiest, when 
in such sort he is obeyed ? And he held his tongue. 

13 l^f Then the third, who had spoken of women, and of the 
truth (this was Zorobabel) began to speak.

44 And certain of the chief of their families, when they came

house again in his own place according to their ability, 

4o And to give into *he holy treasury of the works a thou- 
sand pounds of gold, five thousand of silver, a hundred priestly 
vestments. 

46 And so dwelt the priests, and the Levites, and the people 
in Jerusalem, and in the country, the singers also and the por- 
ters ; and all Israel in their villages. 

47 But when the seventh month was at hand, and when the 
children of Israel were every man in his own place, they came

because all the nations of the land were at enmity «ith them, 5

the time, and burnt-offerings to the Lord botli morning and i 
evening. J 

51 Also they held the feast of tabernacles, as it is command- \

of the sabbaths, and of the new moons, and of all holy feasts. I

were come to Jev.'iy and Jerusalem. \ 

58 II And they appointed the Levites from twenty years old i

families, the ancients who had seen the former house, came to Before 
the building of this with weeping and great crying. 

64 But many with trumpets and joy shouted with loud voice, 

65 Insomuch that the trumpets might not be || heard for the 
weeping of the people : yet the multitude sounded marvellously, 
so that it was heard afar off. 

66 Wherefore when the enemies of the tribe of Judah and 
Benjamin heard it, thej-- came to knov.^ what that noise of trum- 
pets should mean. 

67 And they perceived that they that were of the captivity 
did build the temple unto the Lord God of Israel. 

68 So they went to Zorobabel and Jesus, and to the chief of 
the families, and said unto them, We will build together with 
you. 

69 For we likewise as ye, do obey your Lord, and do sacrifice 
unto him from the days of j| Azbazareth the king of the Assy- 
rians, who brought us hither. 

70 Then Zorobabel and Jesus, and the chief of the families 
of Israel said unto them. It is not for us and you to build together 
a house unto the Lord our Got! : 

71 We ourselves alone will build unto the Lord of Israel, ac- 
cording as Cyrus tlie king of the Persians hath connnanded us 

72 But the heathen of the land lying heavy upon the inhabi- 
tants of Judea, and holding them strait, hindered their building; 

73 And b}' their secret plots, and popular persuasions and 
commotions, they hindered the fuiishing of the building ail the 
time that king Cyrus lived ; so they were hindered from build- 
ing tor the space of two years, || until the reign of Darius. 

CHAPTER VI.

but he (loth further it hy ;dl mean?, and threatenctb those that shall hiiiiier it. 

NOW in the second year of the reign of Darius, Aggeus, and 
Zacharias the son of j| Addo, the prophets, prophesied 
unto the Jews, in Jewry and Jerusalem, in the name of the 
Lord God of Israel ;! whicii was upon them. 

2 Then stood up Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Jesus 
the son of Josedec, and began to build tire house of the Lord at 
Jerusalem, the prophets of the Lord being with tlicni, awr/ help- 
ing them. 

3 * At the same time came unto them l| Sisinnes, the gover- 
nor of Syria and Phcnice, with || Sathrabuzanes, and his com- 
panions, and said unto them, 

4 By whose appointment do ye build this house and this 
roof, and perform all the other things? and who are the work- 
men that perform these things ? 

5 Nevertheless the elders of the Jews obtained favour, be- 
cause the Lord had visited the cajjtivity. 

6 And they were not hindered from building until .such time 
as signification was given unto Darius concerning them, and 
an answer received. 

7 The copy of the letters which Sisinnes, governor of Syria 
anti I'henice, and Sathrabuzanes, witli their companions, rulers 
in Syria and Phenice, wrote and sent unto Darius : lo king 
Darius greeting ; 

8 Let all things be known unto our lord the king, that being 
come into the country of Judea, and entered into the city of 
Jerusalem, we (bund in the city of Jerusalem the ancients of 
the Jews tiiat were of tlie captivity,

and costly stones, and the timber already laid upon the walls. 

10 And those works are done with great speed, and the work 
goeth on prosperously in their hands, and with all glory and 
diligence is it made. 

1 1 Then asked we these elders, saying. By whose command- 
ment build ye this house, andlay tlie foundations of these works? 

12 Therefore to t!ie intent that we might give knowledge 
unto thee by writing, we demanded of thein who were the chief 
doers, and we required of them the names in writing of their 
principal men. 

13 So they gave us this answer, We are the servants of the 
Lord which made heaven and earth. 

14 And as for this house, it was builded many years ago by 
a king of Israel, great and strong, and was finished. 

15 But when our fathers provoked God unto wrath, and 
sinned against the Lord of Israel which is in heaven, he gave 
them oxer into the power of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, 
of the Chaldees : 

16 Who pulled down the house, and burned it, and carried 
away the people captives unto Babylon. 

17 But in the first year that king Cyrus reigned over thf

24 In the first year of the reign of Cyrus, king Cyrus com-

built again, where they do sacrifice with continual fire :

cubits, with tiiree rows of hcs/n stones, and one row of new

out of the house of king Cyrus : 

26 And that the holy vessels of the house of the Lord, both 
of gold and silver, that Nabuchodonosor took out of the house 
at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, sliould be restored to 
the house at Jerusalem, and be set in the place wiiere they 
were before. 

27 And also he commanded that Sisinnes the governor of 
Syria and Plienice, and Sathrabuzanes, and their companions, 
and those which were appointed rulers in Syria, and Phenice, 
should be careful not to meddle with the place, but suffer Zoro-

56 And wiien I liad weighed it, I delivered unto them six 
hundred and sixty talents of silver, and silver vessels of a hun- 
dred talents, and a hundred talents of gold, 

57 And twenty golden vessels, and t twelve vessels of brass, l,"!^^;,^; 
even of fine brass, glittering like gold. Ezra 8,27 

58 And I said unto them, Both ye are holy unto the Lord, 
and the vessels are holy, and the gold and the silver is a vow 
unto the Lord, tlie Lord of our fathers. 

59 Watch ye, and keep them till ye deliver them to the chief 
\ of the priests and Levites, and to the principal men of the 

and his * families of Israel, in Jerusalem, into the chambers of the hous 
of our God. 

60 So the priests and the Levites, who had received the 
silver, and the gold, and the vessels, brought them unto Jerusa- 
lem into the temple of the Lord. 

61 And from the river Theras we departed the twelfth day 
of the first month, and came to Jerusalem by the mighty hand 
of our Lord, which was with us ; and from the || beginning of J^[' „ ,^ 
our journey the Lord delivered us from every enemy, and so the way. 
we came to Jerusalem. 

62 And when we had been there three days, the gold and 
silver that was weighed, was delivered in the house of our Lord Qr 
on the fourth day || unto Marmoth the priest the son of Iri. ^]er'imoth 

63 And with him was Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with 'J\'J'T°-( 
tiiem were Josabad tlie son of Jesu and j| Moeth the son of prUst. 
Sabban, Levites : all was delivered them by number and weiglit. 

64 And all the weight of them was written up the same hour. iVoajiai 

65 Moreover, they that were come out of the captivity offered '*5 ^"l "f 
sacrifice unto the Lord God of Israel, even twelve bullocks for 
all Israel, fourscore and sixteen rams, 

66 t 1 hreescore and twelve lambs, goats for a peace-offer- 
ing, twelve; all of them a sacrifice to the Lord. 

o7 And they delivered the king's commandments unto the 
king's stewards, and to the governors of Celosyria and Phe- 
nice ; and they honoured the people and the temple of God. 

68 Now when these things were done, the rulers came unto 
me and said, 

69 The nation of Israel, the princes, the priests, and Levites, 
liave not put away from them the strange people of the Ijjnd, 
nor the pollutions of the Gentiles, to wit, of the Canaanites, 
Hittites, Pheresites, Jebusites, and the ]\loabites, Egyptians, 
and Edomites. 

70 •= For both they and their sons have married with their 
daughters, and the holy seed is mixed with the strange people 
of the land : and from the beginning of this matter the rulers 
and the great men have been partakers of this iniquity. 

71 And as soon as I had heard tliese things, I rent my 
clothes, and the holy garment, and pulled off the liair from off 
my head and beard, and sat me down sad and very heavj'. 

72 So all they that were thai moved at the word of the Lord 
God of Israel, assembled unto me, whilst I mourned for the 
iniquity : but I sat still full of heaviness until the evening 
sacrifice. 

73 Then rising up from the fast with my clothes and the 
holy garment rent, and bowing my knees, and stretching forth 
my hands unto the Lord, 

74 I said, O Lord, I am confounded and nshamed before 
thy face ; 

75 For our sins || are multiplied above our heads, and our aj]^^',,^"^ 
ignorances have reached up unto heaven. 

76 For ever since the time of our fathers, \\e hdve been and 
are in great sin, even unto this day. 

77 And for our sins and our fatiiers' we witli our brethi'en 
and our kings and our priests were given up unto tlie kings of 
the earth, to the sword, and to captivity, and foi a prey with 
shame, unto this day.

CHAPTER L 

I Esdras Is commanded to reprove the people..-.24 God threateneth to c«st them off, and 

to giv« their houses to peopie of more grace tiian they. 

THE second book of the prophet '' Esdras, the son of Sara- 
ias, the son of Azarias, the son oi' Plelchias, the son of 

II Sadamias, the son of Sadoc, the son of Achitob, 

2 The son of Achias, the son of Phinees, the son of Heli, the 
son of Amarias, the son of Aziei, the son of Marimoth, the son 
of Arna, the son of Ozias, the son of Borith, the son of Abisei, 
the son of Phinees, the son of Eleazar, 

3 The son of Aaron, of the tribe of Levi ; which was captive 
in the land of the Medes, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of the \ 
Persians. 

4 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, : 

5 Go thy way, and '' shew my people 'their sinful deeds, and ; 
their children their wickedness which tliey have done against : 
me J that they may tell their cliildren's children ; ' 

o Because the sins of their fathers are increased in them: for 
they have forgotten me, and have offered unto strange gods. : 

7 Am not I even he that brought them out of the land of; 
Egypt, from the house of bondage ? but they have provoked 
me unto wrath, and despised my counsels. I 

8 Pull thou off then the hair of thy head, and cast all evil ; 
upon them, for they have not been obedient unto my law, but : 
it is a rebellious people. j 

9 How long shall I forbear them unto whom I have done so ; 
much good ? ', 

10 Many kings have I destroyed for their sakes ; " Pharaoh '■ 
witli his servants, and all his power, have I smitten down. ; 

1 1 <" All the nations have I destroyed before them, and in the ; 
east I have scattered the people of two provinces, even of; 
Tyrus and Sidon, and have slain all their enemies. : 

12 Speak thou therefore unto them, saying. Thus saith the '■ 
Lord, : 

13 *" I led you through the sea, and in the beginning gave you ; 
a large and safe || passage : '' I gave you Moses for a leader, and I 
Aaron for a priest. ; 

14 » I gave you light in a pillar of fire, and great wonders ; 
have I done among you ; yet have ye forgotten me, saith the ; 
Lord. 1 

15 Thus saith the Almighty Lord, the ^ quails were as a 1 
token to you ; I gave you tents for your safeguard ; neverthe- ; 
less ye murmured there, ; 

1 6 And triumphed not in mj^ name for tlie destruction of; 
your enemies, but ever to this day do ye yet murmur. ; 

17 Where are the benefits tluit I have done for you ? When 
ye were hungry and thirsty in the wilderness, ' did ye Hot cry 
unto me, 

18 Saying, Why hast thou brought ns into this wilderness 
to kill us ? it had been better for us to have served the Egyp- 
tians, than to die in this wilderness. 

19 Then had I pity upon your mournings, and gave you 
manna to eat ; ^ so ye did eat angels' bread. 

20 ' When ye were thirsty, did I not cleave the rock, and 
waters flowed out || to your fill ? for the heat I covered you 
with the leaves of the trees. 

21_ I divided among you a fruitful land, I cast out the Ca- 
naanites, the Pherezites, and the Philistines, before you : '" what 
shall I yet do more for you ? saith the Lord. 

22 Thus saith the Almighty Lord, When ye were in the 
wilderness, || in the river of the Amorites, being athirst, and 
blaspheming my name, 

B 



; 23 I gave you not fire for your blasphemies, but cast a tree „ gj. ^^g 
; in the water, and made the river sweet. 

I 24 What shall I do unto thee, O Jacob ? thou ° Juda wouldest 
I not obey me : I will turn me to otirer nations, and unto those 
! will I give my name, that they may keep my statutes. 
« 25 Seeing ye have forsaken me,- I will forsake you also ; 
; when ye desire me to be gracious unto you, I shall have no 
I mercy upon you. 

I 26 " Whensoever ye shall call upon me, I will not hear you : o Isa. 1,15. 
; for ye have defiled your hands with blood, and your feet are 
I swift to commit manslaughter. 

; 27 Ye have not as it were forsaken me, but your own selves, 
1 saith the Lord. 

; 28 Thus saith the Almiglity Lord, Have I not prayed you 
: as a father his sons, as a mother her daughters, and a nurse her 
young babes, 

i 29 That ye would be my people, || and I should be your II Or, o»/ 
; God ; that ye would be my children, and I should be your "q^^"'' 
; father ? 

30 c I gathered you together, as a hen gathereth her chickens j^^^_ en 
under her wings : but now, what shall 1 do unto you ? I will 37 
cast you out from my face. 

31 1 M'^ben ye offer unto me, I will turn my face from you : qlsa. i, 13 
for your solemn feast-days, your new moons, and your circum- 
cisions have I forsaken. 

.'52 I sent unto you my servants the prophets, whom ye have 

taken and slain, and torn their bodies in pieces, whose blood 

I will require of your hands, saith the Lord. 
; 33 Thus saith the Almighty Lord, Your house is desolate, 
; I will cast you out as the wind doth stubble. 
: 34 And your children shall not be fruitful ; for they have 

despised my commandment, and done the thing that is evil 

before me. 

35 Your houses will I give to a people that shall come ; which 
not having heard of me yet shall believe me : to wliom 1 have 
shewed no signs, yet they shall do that I have commanded them. 

36 Tliey have seen no prophets, yet they shall call their sins 
to remembrance, and acknowledge them. 

37 I take to witness the grace of the people to come, whose 
little ones rejoice in gladness : and tliough they have not seen 
me with bodily eyes, yet in spirit they believe the thing that I say. 

38 And now, brother, behold what glory; and see the peo- 
ple that come from the east : 

39 Unto wliom I will give for leaders, Abraham, Isaac, and 
Jacob, Oseas, Amos, and Micheas, Joel, Abdias, and Jonas, 

40 Nahum, and Abacuc, Sophonias, Aggeus, Zachary, and 
Malachy, which is called also an ' angel of the Lord.

ihey refused, the Gentiles ai-e called 43 Esdras seeth Uie Son of God, and those that 

are crowned by him. 

THUS saith the Lord, I brought this people out of bondage, 
and I gave them my commandments by my servants the 
prophets ; whom they would not hear, but despised my counsels. 

2 The mother that bare them, saith unto them. Go your way, 
ye children ; for I am a widow and forsaken. 

3 I brought yviu up with gladness ; but with sorrow and heav- 
iness have I lost you : for ye have sinned before the Lord your 
God, and done that tiling that is evil before him. 

4 But what shall I now do unto you ? I am a widow and for- 
salien : go your way, O my children, and ask mercy ofthe Lord.

mother of these children, which would not keep my covenant,

1 1 Nevertheless, one of them thou leftest, namely, ■• Noah

1 The angel declareth the ignorance of Esciras in God's judgments, and adviseth him 5

28 But as concerning the things whereof thou askest me, I

29 If therefore that which is sown be not turned upside down,

4 Whereof if thou canst declare me one, I will shew thee 
also the way that thou desirest to sec, and I shall shew thee 
from whence the wicked heart cometh. 

5 And I said. Tell on, mj' lord. Then said he unto me. Go 
thy way, weigh me the weight of the fire, or measure me the 
blast of the wind, or call me again the daj' that is past. 

6 Then answered I and said, What man is able to do that, 
that thou shouldest ask such things of me ? 

7 And he said unto me, K I should ask thee how great 
dwellings are in the midst of the sea, or how many springs are 
in the beginning of the deep, or how many springs are above 
the firmament, or which are the outgoings of paradise : 

8 Peradventure thou wouldest say unto me, I never went 
down into the deep, nor as yet into hell, neither did I ever 
climb up into heaven. 

9 Nevertheless now have I asked thee but only of the fire 
and wind, and of the day wherethrough thou hast passed. 



31 Ponder now by thyself, how great fruit of wickedness the 
I grain of evil seed hath brought forth. 

J 32 A.nd when the ears shall be cut down, which are without 
S number, how great a floor shall they fill ? 
J 33 Then I answered and said. How, and when shall these 
f things come to pass ? wherefore are our years kw and evil ? 
5 34 And he answered me, saying. Do not thou hasten above 
? the Most Highest : for thy haste is in vain to be above him, for 
i thou hast much exceeded. 

I 35 Did not the souls also of the righteous ask question of 
J these things in their chambers, saying, How long shall I hope 
I on this fashion ? when cometh tlie fruit of the floor of our 

< reward ?

II quantity which is past did more exceed. 

51 Then I prayed, and said, May I live, thinkest thou, until 
that time .? or || what shall happen in those days ? 

52 He answered me, and said. As for the tokens whereof 
thou asketh me, I may tell thee of them in part : but as touch- 
ing thy life, I am not sent to shew thee ; for I do not know it. 

CHAPTER V. 

I The sipns of the times to come...~23 He asketh why God; choosing but one people, did 
cast them ofr.....30 He is taught that God's judgments are imsearchable, and that God 
aoelh not all at once. 

NEVERTHELESS as concerning the tokens, behold, the 
days shall come, that they which dwell upon the earth 

II shall be taken in a great number, and the way of truth shall } 
be hidden, and the land shall be barren of faith. i 

1 But ^ iniquity shall be increa.sed above that which now I 
thou seest, or that thou hast heard long ago. • \ 

3 And the land, || that thou seest. now to have root, shalt 5 
thou see wasted suddenly. | 

4 But if the Most High grant thee to live, thou shalt see af- \ 
ter the third trumpet that the sun shall suddenly shine again in 
the night, and the moon thrice in the day : 

5 And blood shall drop out of the wood, and the stone shall 
give his voice, and the people shall be troubled : 

6 A nd even he shall rule, whom they look not for that dwell 
upon the earth, and the fowls shall take their flight away 
together. 

7 And the Sodomilish sea shall cast out fish, and make a 
noise in the night, which many have not known : but they shall 
all hear the voice thereof. 

8 'I'here shall be a confusion also in many places, and fire 
shall be oft l| sent out again, and the wild beasts shall change 
t.heir places, and menstruous women shall bring forth monsters : 

9 And salt water shall be found in the sweet, and all friends 
shall destroy one another ; then shall wit hide itself, and un- 
derstanding withdraw itself into his secret chamber, 

10 And shall be sought of many, and yet not be found : then

others, and why hast thou scattered thine only one people ^''' """^ 
among many ? 

29 And they which did gainsay thy promises, and believed 
not thy covenants, have trodden thera down. 

30 If thou didst so much hate thy people, yet shouldest thou 
punish them with thine own hands. 

31 Now when I had spoken these words, the angel that 
came to me the night afore was sent unto me, . 

32 And said unto me, Hear me, and I will instruct thee ; 
hearken to the thing that I say, and I shall tell thee more. 

33 And I said, Speak on, my Lord. Then said he unto me, 
Thou art sore troubled in mind for Israel's sake : lovest thou 
that people better than he that made them ? 

34 And I said. No, Lord : but of very grief have I spoken : 
for my reins pain me every hour, while I labour to comprehend 
the way of the Most High, and to seek out part of his judgment. 

35 And he said unto me. Thou canst not. And I said. Where- 
fore, Lord ? whereunto was I born then ? or why was not my 
mother's womb then my grave, that I might not have seen the 
travail of Jacob, and the wearisome toil of the stock of Israel? 

36 And he said unto me. Number me the things that are not 
yet come, gather me together the drops that are scattered 
abroad, make me the flowers green again that are withered, 

2>7 Open me the places that aie closed, and bring me forth 
the winds that in them are shut up, shew me the image of a 
voice : and then I will declare to thee the thing that thou 
labourest to know. 

38 And I said, O Lord that bearest rule, who may know 
these things, but he that hath not his dwelling with men ? 

39 As for me, I am unwise : how may I then speak of these 
things whereof thou askest me ? 

40 Then said he unto me. Like as thou canst do none of 
these things that I have spoken of, even so canst thou not find 
out my judgment, or in the end the love that I have promised 
unto my people. 

41 And I said, Behold, O Lord, yet art thou nigh unto them 
that be reserved till the end : and what shall they do that have

12 At the same time shall men hope, but nothing obtain : \ no swiftness of the first

they shall labour, but their ways shall not || prosper. 

13 To shew thee such tokens I have leave; and if thou wilt 
pray again, and weep as now, and fast seven days, thou shalt 
hear yec greater things. 

14 Then I awaked, and an extreme fearfulness went through 
all my body, and my mi.nd was troubled, so that it fainted. 

15 So the angel that was come to talk with me, held me, 
comforted me, and set me up upon my feet. 

16 And in the second night it came to pass, that Salathiel 
the captain of the people came unto me, saying. Where hast 
thou been ? and why is thy countenance so heavy ? 

17 Knowest thou not that Israel is committed unto thee in | 
the land of their captivity ? \ 

18 Up then, and eat bread, and forsake us not, as the shep- \ 
herd that leaveth his flock in the hands of cruel wolves. \ 

19 Then said I unto him. Go thy ways from me, and come 5 
not nigh me. And he heard what I said, and went from me. \ 

20 And so I fasted seven days, mourning and weeping, like I 



43 So I answered and said, couldest thou not make those 
that have been made, and be now, and that are for to come, at 
once ; that thou mightest shew thy judgment the sooner ? 

44 Then answered he me, and said. The creature may not 
haste above the maker ; neither may the world hold them at 
once that shall be created therein. 

45 And I said. As thou hast said unto thy servant, that thou 
which givest life to all, hast given life at once to the creature 
that thou hast created, and the creature bare it : even so it 
might now also bear them that now be present at once. 

46 And he said unto me, Ask the womb of a woman, and 
say unto her. If thou bringest forth children, why dost thou it 
not together, but one after another ? pray her therefore to bring 
forth ten children at once. 

47 And I said. She cannot: but mustdoit by distance of time. 

48 Then said he unto me, Even so have I given the womb 
of the earth to those that be sown in it in their times. 



49 For like as a young child may not bring forth the things 
as Uriel the angel commanded me. > that belong to the aged, even so have I disposed tJie world

sealed that have gathered faith for a treasure : \ and earth be made ; " ' 



6 Then did I consider these things, and they all were made > 
through me alone, and through none other : by me also they \ 
shall be ended, and by none other. \ 

7 Then answered I and said. What shall be the parting asun- t 
der of the times : or when shall be the end of the first,' and the | 
beginning of it that followeth ? 5 

8 And he said unto me, From Abraham unto Isaac, when \ 
Jacob and Esau were born of him, '^ Jacob's hand held || first \ 
the heel of Esau. i 

9 For Esau is the end of the world, and Jacob is the begin 
ning: of it that followeth. 



, and thy word was a perfect work. 

39 And then was the spirit, and darkness and silence were 
on every side ; the sound of man's voice was not yet formed. 

40 Then commandedst thou a fair light to come forth of thy 
treasures, that thy work might appear. 

41 Upon the seond day thou madest the spirit of the firma- 
ment, and commandedst it to part asunder, and to make a 
division betwixt the waters, that the one part might go up, and 
the other remain beneath. 

42 Upon the third daj' thou didst command that the waters 
should be gathered in tlie seventh part of the earth : six parts 

\ iiast thou dried up, and kept them, to the intent that of these 



10 The hand of man is betwixt the heal and the hand : other ^ some being planted of God and tilled, might serve thee. 



A 



question, Esdras, ask thou not 

11^1 answered then and said, O Lord that bearest rule 
I have found favour in thy sight, 

12 I beseech thee, shew thy servant the end of thy tokens, 
whereof thou shewedst me part the last night. 

13 So he answered and said unto me, Stand up upon thy feet, 
and hear a mighty sounding voice. 

14 And it shall be as it were a great || motion ; but the place 
where thou standest shall not be moved. 

15 And therefore when it speaketh be not afraid ; for the 
word is of the end, and the foundation of the earth is understood. 

16 And why ? because the speech of these things trembleth 
and is moved : for it knoweth that the end of these things must 
be changed. \ 

17 And it happened that when I had heard it I stood up upon I 
my feet, and hearkened, and behold, there was a voice that ( 
spake, and the sound of it was like the sound of many waters, i 

18 And it said. Behold, the days come, that I will begin to I 
draw nigh, and to visit them that dwell upon the earth, ? 

19 And will begin to make inquisition of them, what they be 5

44 For immediately there was great and innumerable fruit, 
and many and divers i)leasures lor the taste, and floweis of 
unchangeable colour, and odours of wonderful smell : and this 
was done the third day. 

45 "= Upon the fourth day thou commandedst that the sun c6en.i,u 
should shine, and the moon give htr light, and the stars should 
be in order ; 

46 And gavest them a charge to do '' service unto man, that 'ieut"4'j9 
was to be made. ' ' 

47 Upon the fifth day thou saidst unto the seventh part, 
j where the waters were gathered, that it should bring forth 
5 living creatures, fowls and fishes ; and so it came to pass. 
I 48 For the dumb water and without life brought forth living 
I things at the commandment of God, that all people might 
( praise thy wondrous works. 

i 49 Then didst thou ordain two living creatures, the one thou

1 And he said unto me. Up, Esdias, and hear the words ^ 
that I am conwi to tell thee. \ 

3 vVnd I said, Speak on, my God. Then said he unto me, \ 
The sea is set in a wide place, that it might be deep and great, s 

4 But put ihe case the entrance were narrow, and like a river; > 

5 AVho then could go into the sea to look upon i1^ and to \ 
rule it ? if he went not through the narrow, how could he come \ 
into the broad ? . . \ 

6 There is also another thing ; A city is builded, and set 5 
upon a broad field, and is full of all good things : \ 

7 The entrance thereof is narrow, and set in a || dangerous \ 
place to fa!l, like as if there were a fire on the right hand, and ? dead, that he might live 
on the left a deep water : 5 40 And ' Ezechias for the people in the time of Sennacherib

34 But judgment only shall remain, truth shall stand, and 
faith shall wax strong : 

35 And the work shall follow, and the reward shall be 
shewed, and the good deeds shall be of force, and wicked deeds 
shall bear no rule. 

36 Then said I, ^ Abraham prayed first for the Sodomites, 
and ° Moses for the fathers that sinned in tlie wilderness : 

37 And Jesus after him for Israel, in the time of || Achan : 

38 And Samuel and '' David for the destruction : and ^ Solo- 
mon for them that should come to the sanctuary : 

9 And ' Helias for those that received rain : and for the 



8 And one only path between them both, even between the 
fire and the water, so small x\ii\i there could but one man go 
there at once. 

9 If this city now were given unto a man for an inheritance, 
if he never shall pass the danger set before it, how shall he 
receive this inheritance ? 

10 And I said, It is so. Lord. Then said he unto me. Even 
so also is Israel's portion. 

11 Because for their sakes I made the world : and when 
Adam transgressed my statutes, then was decreed that now is 
done. 

12 Then were the entrances of this world made narrow, full 
of sorrow and travail : they are but iew and evil, full of perils, 
and very painful. 

13 For the entrances of the || elder world were wide and sure, 
and brought immortal fruit. 

14 If then they that live, labour not to enter these strait and 
vain things, the}' can never receive those that are laid up for 
them. 

15 Now therefore why disquietest thou thyself, seeing thou 
art but n corruptible man ? and why art thou moved, whereas 
thou art but mortal ?

and many for many. 

41 Even so now, seeing corruption is grown up, and wick- 
edness is increased, and the righteous have prayed for the un- 
godly ; wherefore shall it not be so now also .'' 

42 He answered me, and said. This present life is not the 
end where much glory doth abide ; therefore have they prayed fy\^'"^^ 
for the weak. 

43 But the day of doom shall be the end of this time, and the 
beginning of the immortalitj'^ lor to come, wherein corruption 
is past, 

44 Intemperance is at an end, infidelity is cutoff, righteous- 
ness is grown, and truth is sprung up. 

45 Then shall no man be able to save him that is destroyed, 
nor to oppress him that hath gotten the victory. 

4G I answered then and said. This is my first and last say- 
ing, that it had been better not to have given the earth unto 
Adam : or else, wnen it was given him, to have restrained him 
from sinning. 

47 For what profit is it for men now in this present time to 
live in heaviness, and after death to look for punishment .f"

to bind ' Asmodeus the evil spirit ; because she belonged to 
Tobias by right of inheritance. The sell-same time came Tobit 
home, and entered into his house, and Sara the daughter of Ra-

4 Therefore when he went to seek a man, he found Raphael

ND as they went on their journey, they came in

2 And when tlie young man went down to wash himself, a 5 
fish leaped out of the river, and would have devoured him. \ 

3 Then the 'angel said' unto him, Take the fish. And the j 
young man laid hold of tlie fish, i| and drew it to land. 5

5 And they said, He is both alive and in good health : and 
Tobias said, " He is my father.

6 Then the young man said to the angel. Brother "^ Azarias,' till we agree and swear one to another 



, I will speak for her, that she j 
'' right of her appertain, seeing 



(o what use is the heart and the liver and tiie gall of the fish ? > 

7 And he said unto him. Touching tlie heart and the liver, if 
a devil or an evil spirit trouble any, we must make asmoke 
thereof before the man or the woman, and the paity shall be 
no more vexed. 

8 As for the gall, it is good to anoint a man that hath 
* whiteness in his eyes, and he shall be healed. 

9 And when they were come near to Rages, 

10 The angel said to the young man. Brother, to-day we 
shall lodge with ' Raguel, who is tiiy cousin ; he also hath one 
only daughter, named ° Sara

12 And the maid is fair and wise : now therefore hear me ^ 
and I will speak to her father ; and wlien we return from Rages { 
we will tjelebrate the marriage : for I know that Raguel cannot S 
marry her to another according to the law of Moses, but he sliall < 
be guilty of death, because the right of inheritance doth rather 5 
appertain to thee than to any other. I 

13 Then the young man answered the angel, I have heard, 5 
brother Azarias, ' that this maid iiatii been given to seven men, S 
who all died in the marriage ciiamber. ? 

14 '' And now I am the only si>n of my father, and I am 5 
afraid, lest, if I go in unto her, I die, as the other before : for a { 
' wicked spirit loveth her, which hurteth no bodj', but those < 
which come unto her : wherefore I also fear lest I die, and 5 
bring my father's and my mother's life, because of me, to the j

STobit ofivelli instiuctious to liis son, specially to leave Nineve 11 Hcandliis wifedie, 

and are buried 12 Tobias removetli to Ktbatane, and there dietb, after he had heard 

of the Destruction of Nineve. 

SO Tobit made an end of praising God. 
2 And he was eight and fit'ty years old when he lost his 
sight, which was restored to him after eight years : "^ and he gave 
alms, and he || increased in the tear of the Lord God, and praised 
hhn. 

3 And when he was verj^ a^ed, ^ he called his son, and the 
six sons of his son, and said to him, My son, take thy children ; 
for behold, I am aged, and am ready to depart out of this life. 

4 Go into Media, my son, for 1 surely believe those things 
which " Jonas the prophet spake of jNineve, that it shall be over- 
thrown ; and that for a time peace shall rather be in *" Media ; 
and that our brethren shall lie scattered in the earth from that 
good land : and Jerusalem shall be desolate, and the house of 
God in it shall be burned, and shall be desolate for a time ; 

5 ■= And that again God will have mercy on them, and bring 
them again into the land, where they shall build a temple, ' but 
not like to the tirst, until the time of that age be fulfilled ; and 
afterward they shall return from all places of their captivity, 
and build up Jerusalem gloriously, and the house of God shall 
be built in it || for ever with a glorious building, as the prophets 
have spoken thereof. 

6 And all nations shall turn, and fear the Lord God trulj"^, 
«and shall bury their idoU. 

7 So shall all nations praise the Lord, and his people shall 
confess God and the Lord shall exalt his people ; and all those 
which love the Lord God in truth and justice shall rejoice, shew- 
ing mercy to our brethren. 

8 And now, my son, '' depart out of Nineve, because that those 
things which the piopliet Jonas spake shall surely come to pass. 

9 But keep thou the law and the commandments, ' and shew 
thyself merciful and just, that it may go well with thee 

10 And bury me decently, and thy mother with me ; but tarry 
no longer at Nineve. Remember, my son, how Aman handled 
^ Achiacharus that brought him up, how out of light he bi ought 
him into darkness, and how he rewardetl him again : yet Achia- 
charus was II saved, but the other had his reward : for he went 
down into darkness. \\ Manasses gave alms, and escaped the 
snares of death jj whicli they had set for him : but Aman fell 
into the snare, and perished. 

1 1 Wherefore now, my son, ' consider what alms doeth, and 
how righteousness doth deliver. When he had said these things, 
he gave up the ghost in the bed, being a hundred and eight and 
fifty years old : and || he buried him honourably. 

12 And when Anna his mother was dead, he buried her with 
his father. But Tobias depaited with his wife and children to 
'" Ecbatane to " Raguel his father-in-law, 

13 Where he became old with honour, and he buried his 
father and motlier-in-law honourably, and he || inherited their 
substance, and his father Tobit's. 

14 And he died at Ecbatane in Media, " being a hundred 
and seven and twenty years old. 

15 But before he died, he heard of p the destruction of 
Nineve, which was taken by Nabuchodonosor and Assuerus : 
and before his death he rejoiced over Nineve.

thought upon the things which are now, and which are to come. 

6 Yea, ''what things thou didst determine were ready at

7 For, behold, the Assyrians ' are multiplied in their power; 
they are exalted with horse and man ; they glory in the strength 
of their footmen ; they trust in shield and spear, and bow and 
sling ; and know not that thou art the Lord that breakest the

us before our enemies. 

16 Do not jl bind the counsels of the Lord our God : for 
" God is not as man, that he may be threatened ; neither is he 
as the son of man, that he should be wavering. 

17 Therefore let us f wait for salvation of him, and call upon 
him to help us, and he will hear our voice, if it please him. 

18 For there arose none in our age, neither is there any now 
in these days, neither tribe nor family, nor i| people, nor city,

desired greatly her company ; lor he waited a time to deceive 
her, from the day that he had seen her.

when he was come, and saw the head of Holofernes in a man's j d 
hand in the assembly of the people, he fell down on his lace, 

fRev. 1,17. and his spirit failed.

8 Now therefore tell me all the things that thou hast done in 
these days. Then Judith declared unto him in the midst of th.e 
people all that she had done, from the day that she went forth 
until that hour she spake unto them. 

9 And when she had left off speaking, " the people shouted 
with a loud voice, and made a joyful noise in their city. 

10 And when Achior had seen all that the God of Israel had \ that was with "he 
donej he believed in God greatly, and circumcised the flesh of his 
foreskin, and was ' joined unto the house of Israel unto this day. 

1 1 And as soon as the morning arose, they hanged the head 
of Holofernes upon the wall, and every man took his weapons, 
and they went forth bj' bands unto the || straits of the mountain. 

12 But when the Assyrians saw them, they sent to ^ their 
leaders, which came to their captains and tribmies, and to every 
one of their rulers. 

13 So they came to Holofernes' tent, and said to ' him that 
had the charge of all his things, Waken now our lord : for the 
slaves have been bold to come down against us to battle, '" that 
they may be utterly destroyed. 

14 Then went in Bagoas, and knocked at the door of the

his head was taken from him. 

16 II Therefore he cried with a loud voice, with weeping,

Part of the Tenth Chapter after the Greek. 

Mardocheus remeniberelli ami expuiuutetli his ilrearn of llie river and the two dragons. 

THEN Mardocheus said, " God hath done these things. 
5 For I remember a dream which I saw concerning 
these matters, and nothing thereof hath failed. 

6 ^ A little fountain became a river, and thei '. was light, and : 
the sun, and much water : this river is Esther, whom the king ; 
married, and made queen. ! 

7 And the two dragons are I and Aman. ' 

8 And the nations were those that were assembled to destroy 
the name of the Jews : 

9 And my nation is this Israel, which cried to God, ' and 
were saved : for the Lord iiath saved his people, and tlie Lord 
hath delivered us from all those evils, '^ and God iiatli wrought 
signs and great wonders, which have not been done among the 
Gentiles. 

10 Therefore hath he made "= two lots, one for the people of! 
God, and another for all the Gentiles. ; 

11 And these two lots came at the hour, and time, and day \ 
of judgment, before God among all nations. j 

12 So God rememl)ered his people, and justified his inheri-i 
tance. \ 

13 Therefore those days shall be unto them in ' the montii \ 
Adar, the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the same month, with i 
an assembly, and joy, and with gladness before God, accord-! 
ing to the generations for ever among his people. \ 

CHAPTER XI. \ 

3 Tiie stock and quality oT Mardocheus 6 He dreanietli of two dragrons coming feith j 

to fight, and of a little fountain which became a great water. \ 

IN the fourth year of the reign of Ptolenieus and Cleopatia, \ 
Dositheus, wlio said he was a priest and Levite, and Ptole- '. 
nieus ills son, brought this epistle of Pharim, which tliej' said ; 
was the same, and that Lj'simachus the son of Ptolemeus, that \ 
was in Jerusalem, had interpreted it. \ 

2 In the second year tjf the reign of * Artaxerxes the great, \ 
in the first day of the month Nisan, 'Mardocheus the son of< 
Jairus, the son of Semel, the son of Cisai of the tribe of Benja- 5 
mill, " had a dream ; > 

3 Who was a Jew, and dwelt in the city of Susa, a great man, | 
being a servitor in the king's court. \ 

4 He was also one of the captives, which Nafuchodonosor ? 
the king of Babylon carried trom Jerusalem with Jechonias J 
king of Judea : and this was his dream. \ 

5 Beholil, a noise of a tumult, with thunder, and earthquakes, \ 
and ui)roar in the land : J 

6 And behold,'' two great dragons came forth ready to fight, t 
and their cry was great. \ 

7 And at their cry all nations were prepared to battle, that J 
tliey might fight against •= the righteous people. \ 

8 And lo, a day of darkness and obscurity, tribulation and \ 
anguish, aliiiction and great uproar, upon the earth. ) 

9 And the whole righteous nation was troubled, fearing their \ 
own evils, and were ready to perish. \ 

10 Then they cried unto God, and upon their cry, « as it S 
were from a little fountain, was made a great flood, even much \ 
water. i 

11 ^ The light and the sun rose up, and the lowly were ex- J 
alted, and devoured the glorious. J 

12 Now when Alardocheus, who had seen this dream, and \ 
what God had determined to do, was awake, he !)are this dream \ 
In mind, and until night by all means was desirous to know it. > 



CHAPTER Xll. 

2 Tlie conspiracy of the two einiuilis is discovered Ly MardocUeus, for which lie is en 
tertauieil by the liing, and rewarded. 

ND Mardocheus took his rest in the court '^ with. Gabatha 
and Tharra, the two eunuchs of the king, and keepers of 
the palace. 

2 'And he heard their devices, and searched out their pur- 
poses, and learned that they were about to lay hands upon Ar- 
taxerxes the king ; and so he certified the king of them. 

3 Then the king examined the two eunuchs, and after that 
they had confessed it, •= thej- were strangled. 

4 And the king made a record of these things, ami Mardo- 
cheus also wrote thereof. 

5 So the king commanded Mardocheus to serve in the court, 
'' and for this he rewarded him. 

6 Howbeit ' Aman tlie son of Amadathus the Agagite, who 
was in great honour with the king, sought to molest ^lardo- 
cheus and his people because of the two eunuchs of the 
king. 

CHAPTER XIIL 

1 The co])y of ihc king's letters to destroy tlie Jews 8 The prayer of IMardocheus for 

them. 

THE copy of the letters was this : The great king Artax- 
erxes writeth these things to the princes and governors 
that are under him from ' India unto Etliiopia, in a hundred 
and seven and twenty provinces. 

2 After that I became lord ''over many nations, and had do- 
minion over the whole world, not lifted up with presumption 
of my authority, but carrying myself alwaj's witli equity and 
miliiness, 1 purposed to settle my subjects continually in a quiet 
life, and making my kingdom || peaceable, and open for pas- 
sage to the utmost coasts, to renew peace which is desired of 
all men. 

3 Now when I asked my counsellors how this might be 
brought to pass, •" Aman, that excelled in wisilom among us, and 
was approved for his constant good will and steadfast fidelity, 
'' and had the honour of the second place in the kingdom, 

4 Declared unto us, that in all nations throughout the world 
there was scattered *= a certain malicious people, that had laws 
contrary to all nations, and continually despised the command- 
ments of kings, so as the uniting of our kingdoms, honourably 
intended by us, cannot |i go forwarrl. 

5 Seeing then wit understand that this people alone is con- 
tinually in opposititHi unto all men, diflering in the strange maur 
ner of tlieir laws, and evil-affected to our state, ' working all 
the miscliief they can, that our kingdom may not be firmly es- 
tablished : 

6 Therefore have we commanded, that all they that are sig- 
nified in writing unto you by Aman. who is ordained over the 
affairs, and is || ne.xt unto us, shall all with their wives and chil- 
dren be utterly destroyed by the sword of their enemies, with- 
out all mercy and pity, the fourteenth day of the twelfth month 
s Adar of this present year : 

7 That tliey who of old and now also are malicious, may in 
one day with violence go into the grave, and so ever hereafter 
cause our aflairs to be well settled, and without trouble 

8 Then Mardocheus '' thought upon all the works of the 
Lord, and made his prayer unto hini, 

9 Saying, O Lord, Lord, the King Almighty : for the wnole 
world 'is in tlij' power, and if thou hast appointed to save Is- 
rael, there is no man that can gainsay thee :

The WISDOM of SOLOMON. 



CHAPTER I. 

2 To whom God shewelh himself, and wisdom heiself.....6 An evil speaker cannot lie 
hid 12 We procure our own destruction: for God created not death. 

LOVE » righteousness, ye that be judges of the earth : think 
of the Lord with a good (heart,) and in simplicity of heart 
seek him. 

2 For he will be found of them "* that tempt him not ; and : 
sheweth himself unto such as do not " distrust him. 

3 For froward thoughts separate from God : and his power, 
when it is tried, || reproveth the unwise. 

4 For into a malicious soul wisdom shall not enter ; nor 
dwell in tife body that is stiJ^ject unto sin. 

5 '' For the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and re- 
move from thoughts that are without understanding, and || will 
not abide when unrighteousness cometii in. 

6 For wisdom is a" loving spirit; and will not acquit a blas- 
phemer of his II words ; for God is witness of his reins, and a 
true beliolder of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue. 

7 For the Spirit of the Lord lilleth the world : and that which 
II containeth all things, hath knowledge of the voice. 

8 Therefore he that speaketh unrighteous things ' cannot be 
hid : neither shall vengeance, when it punislieth, pass by him. 

9 For inquisition shall be made into the counsels of the un- 
godly : and the sound of his words shall come unto the Lord 
for the II manilestation of liis wicked deeds. 

10 For tlie ear of jealousy heareth all things ; and the noise 
of munnurings is not hid. 

11 Therefore beware of e^ murmuring, which is unprofitable ; 
and refrain your tongue from backbiting : for there is no word 
so secret, that shall go for nought : and the mouth that || belieth, 
slayeth the soul. 

12 Seek not death in the error of your life : and pull not 
upon yourselves *' destruction with the works of your iiands. 

13 For God made not death : ' neither hath he pleasure in 
the destruction of the living. 

14 For '' he created all tilings, that they might have their be- 
ing : and the generations of the world were healthful : and there 
is no poison of destruction in them, nor the kingdom of death 
upon the earth : 

15 (For righteousness is immortal :) 
iG ' But ungodly men witli tlieir works and words called it 

to them : for when they thougiit to have it their friend, they 
consumed to nought, and made a covenant with it, because they 
are worthy to take part with it. 

CHAPTER n. 

1 The wicked think this lifeshort, and of no otlier after tliis 6 Tlierefore they will take 

tlieir pleasure in this, and conspire against the just 21 What that is which 'doth blind 

them. 

Ij^OR the ungodly said, reasoning with themselves, but not 
aright, => Our life is short and tedious, 'and in tiie death 
of a man there is no remedy : neither was there any man 
known to have returned from the grave. 

2 For we are born at all adventure : and we shall be here- 
after as though we had never been : for the breath in our nostrils 
is as smoke, and a little spark in the moving of our heart : 

3 Which being extinguished, "= our body shall be turned into 
ashes, and our spirit shall vanish as the || soft air, 

4 And our name shall be forgotten in time, and no man shall 
IOr, 7iw«i. have our works in remembrance, and our life shall pass away 

as tlie trace of a cloud, and shall be dispersed as the mist that is 
driven away with the beams of the sun, and || overcome with 
n Or, oj, the heat thereof.

^ " Jt or our time is a very shadow that passeth away ; 
after our end there is no returning : for || it is fast sealed, so 
that no man cometh again. 

6 Come on therefore, let us enjoy the good things ^ that are 
present : and let us || speedily use the creatures like as in youth. 

7 Let us fill ourselves with costly wine and ointments : and 
let no flower of tlie spring pass by us : 

8 Let us crown ourselves with rose-buds, '' before they be 
withered. 

9 Let none of us go without his part of our || voluptuousness : 
let us lea\e tokens of our joyfulness in every place : ^ for this 
is our jjortion, and our lot is this. 

10 '' Let us oppress the poor righteous man, let us not spare 
tlie widow, nor reverence the ancient gray hairs of the aged. 

11 Let our strength be the law of justice : for that which is 
feeble is Ibund to be nothing worth. 

12 Therefore ' let us lie in wait for the righteous ; because 
he is not for our turn, and he is clean contrary to our doings : 
he upbraideth us with our offending the law, and objecteth to 
our infamy the transgressions of our education. 

13 '' He professeth to have the knowledge of God : and he 
calleth himself the child of the Lord. 

14 He was made to ' reprove our thoughts. 

15 '" He is grievous unto us even to beliold : for his life is 
not like other men's, his ways are of another fashion. 

16 We are esteemed of him as || counterfeits : he abstaineth 
from our ways as from filthiness : he pronounceth " the end of the 
just to be blessed, and maketh his boast that God is his father. 

IT Let us see if his words be true : and let us prove what 
shall happen in the end of him. 

18 For if the just man be the " son of God, he will help him, 
and deliver him from the hand of his enemies. 

19 Let us i' examine him with despitefulness and torture, that 
we may know his meekness, and prove his patience. 

20 Let us condemn him with a shameful death : for by his 
own saying he shall be respected. 

21 Such things they did imagine, '^ and were deceived : for 
their own wickedness hath blinded them. 

22 As for the mysteries of God, ■■ they knew them not : nei- 
ther hoped they for the wages of righteousness, nor t discerned 
a reward for blameless souls. 

23 For God created man to be immortal, and made him to 
be an ' image of his own eternity. 

24 ' Nevertheless, through envy of the devil came death into 
the world : and they that do hold of his side do find it. 

CHAPTER m. 

I The g;odly are happy in tlieir tieath, and in their troubles ; the wicked are not, nor 
tlieir children... .13 Hut they that are pure, are happy, though they liave no children : 
for the adulterer and his seed shall jierish. 

BUT " the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and 
tliere shall no torment touch them. 

2 ■' In the sight of the unwise they seemed to che : and their 
departure is taken for misery, 

3 And their going from us to the utter destruction : but they 
are in peace. , 

4 For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is 
their " hope full of immortality. 

5 And iiaving been a little chastised, they shall be greatly 

II rewarded : for God '' proved them, and found them || worthy 
for himself.

CHAPTER IX. I 

A prayer unto God for liis wisdom, witliout whicli the best man is notliing woilli, nei- 5 
tlier can he tell how to please 6ofl. > 

GOD of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, '^ who hast made i 
all things with thy word, 5 

2 And ordained man through thy wisdom, that he should j 
'"have dominion over the creatures which thou hast made, i 

3 And order the world according to equity and righteous- I 
ness, and execute judgment with an upright heart : \ 

4 Give " me wisdom, that sitteth by thy throne ; and reject J 
me not from among thy children : ^ 

5 For I '^ thy servant, and son of thy handmaid, am a feeble i 
person, and of a short time, and too young for the understand- 1 
ing of judgment and laws. j 

G For though a man be never so perfect among the children j 
of men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he slmll be noth- i 
ing regarded. i 

7 Thou hast chosen me to be a ' king of thy people, and a | 
judge of thy sons and daughters : 5 

8 Thou hast commanded me to ' build a temple upon thy j 
holy mount, and an altar in the city wherein thou dvvellest, a l 
resemblance oi' the holy tabernacle, which thou hast prepared | 
from the beginning. I 

9 And i* wisdom was with thee : which knoweth thy works, 5 
*■ and was present when thou madest the world, and knew what J 
was acceptable in thy sight, and right in thy commandments. ! 

10 O send her out of thy holy heavens, and from the throne t 
of thy glory, that being present she may labour with me, that I 
I may know what is pleasing unto thee. | 

11 For she knoweth and understandeth all things, and she j 
shall lead me soberly in my doings, and preserve me || in her i 
power. / 

12 So shall my works be acceptable, and then shall I judge ' 
thy people righteously, and be worthy to sit in my father's seat, s 

13 For ' what man is he that can know the counsel of God ? i 
or who can think what the will of the Lord is ? i 

14 For the thoughts of mortal men are |l miserable, and our \ 
devices are but uncertain. | 

15 For the corruptible body presseth down the soul, and j 
'' the earthly tabernacle weigheth down the mind that museth i 
upon many things. ^ 

16 And hardly do we guess aright at things that are upon 
earth, and with labour do we find the things that are t before us : 
' but the things that are in heaven who hath search.ed out ? 

17 And thy counsel who hath known, except thou give wis- 
dom, and send thy •" Holy Spirit from above ? 

18 For so the ways of them which lived on the earth were 
reformed, and men were taught the things that are pleasing un- 
to thee, and were saved through wisdom.

confounded, she found out the righteous, and preserved him 
blameless unto God, and ^ kept him strong || against his tender 
compassion toward his son. 

6 When the ungodly perished, '' she delivered the righteous 
man, wlio fled from the fire which fell down upon t the ' five cities. 

7 Of whose wickedness even to this day the waste land that 
smoketh is a testimony, and plants bearing fruit that never 
come to ripeness : and a ^ standing pillar of' salt ts a monu- 
ment of an unbelieving soul. 

8 For regarding not wisdom, they gat not only this hurt, 
that they knew not the things whick were good ; but also left 
behind them to the world a memorial of their foolishness : so 
that in the things wherein they offended they could not so much 
as be hid. 

9 But wisdom delivered from pain those that attended upon 
her. 

10 ' When the righteous fled from his brother's wrath, she 
guided him in right paths, shewed him the kingdom of God, 
and gave him knowledge of lioly things, made him rich in his 
travels, and multiplied the fruit ofhh labours. 

11 '"In the covetousness of such as oppressed him she stood 
by him, and made him rich. 

12 She defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe 
from those that lay in wait, " and in a sore conflict she gave 
him the victory ; that he might know that godliness is stronger 
than all. 

13 " When the righteous was sold, she forsook him not, but 
delivered him from sin : siie went down with him into the pit, 

14 And left him not in bonds, till she brought him the scep- 
tre of the kingdom, and || power against those that oppressed 
him : as for them that had accused him, she shewed them to 
be liars, and gave him perpetual glory. 

15 She delivered the || righteous people and blameless seed 
^ from the nation that oppressed them. 

16 She entered into the soul of the servant of the Lord, and 
' withstood dreadful kings in wonders and signs ; 

17 Rendered to the righteous a reward of their labours, 
guided them in a marvellous way, and was unto them for a cov- 
ert by day, and a || light of stars in the night season ; 

18"^ Brought them through the Red Sea, and led them 
through much water : 

19 But ^ she drowned their enemies, and cast them up out of 
the bottom of the deep. 

20 Therefore the righteous spoiled the ungodly, and ' prais- 
ed thy holy name, O Lord, and magnified with one accord thy 
hand that fought for them. 

21 For wisdom " opened the mouth of the dumb, and made 
the tongues of them that cannot speak eloquent.

were piatrued by tite same things wherein they sinned 20 God could have destroyed 

them otherwise, L-ut he is merciriil to all. 

HE prospered their works in the hand of ' the holy prophet. 
2 '■ They went through the wilderness that was not inhab-

3 ' They stood against their enemies, and were avenged of 
their adversaries. 

4 When they were thirsty, they called upon thee, ^ and water 
was given them out of the flinty rock, and their thirst was 
quenched out of the hard stone. 

5 For by wh-at things their enemies were punished, by the 
same they in their neecl were benefited. 

6 For instead of a fountain of a perpetual running river 
" troubled with foul blood, 

7 For a manifest reproof of that commandment, ' whereby 
the infants were slain, thou gavest unto them abundance of wa- 
ter by a means which they hoped not for : 

8 Declaring by that thirst then ^ how thou hadst punished 
their adversaries.

tiie otlier, as a severe king, thou didst condemn and punish. 

1 1 Whether they were absent or present, they were vexed 
alike. 

12 For a double grief came upon them, and a groaning for 
the remembrance of things past. 

13 For when they heard by their own punishments the oth-

it thou makest their boldness manifest. 

18 But thou mastering thy pov/er, judgest with eqinty, and 
orderest us with great favour: " for thou mayest use power "Jo^'^MO- 
when thou wilt. 

1!) But by such works hast thou taught thy people that the 
just man should be " merciful, and hast made thy children to be " ' "' ' 
of a good hope that thuu givest repentance for sins. 

20 1 or iftliou didst punish the enemies of thy children, and 
the condemived to death, with such deliberation, giving them 
time and place, v.hereby they might be delivered from their 
malice : 

21 \\-\xh how great circumspection didst thou judge thine 

own sons, r unto whose fathtrs thou hast sworn, and made cov- p ^'- "'^' ' 
enants of good promises ? 

22 Therefore, - whereas thou dost chasten us, thou scourgest ?,^™*''^ 
our enemies a thousand times more, to the intent that, when 
we judge we should carefully think of thy goodness, and when 
we ourselves are judged, we should look for mercy. 

23 Wherefore, whereas men have lived dissolutely and un- 
righteously, thou hast tormented them with their own || abom- 
inations. 

24 ' For they went astray very far in the ways of error, and 
held them lor gods, which even among the beasts of their ene- Hom. i, 23l 
niies were despised, being deceived, as children of no under- 
standing. 

25 I'heiefore unto them, as to children without the use of ^ prov.j 
reason, thou didst send a judgment to* mock them. 20. 

26 But they that would not be reformed by that correction, 
wherein he dalhed with them, shall feel a 'judgment worthy 'Hoin.2,2 
of God. 

27 For, look, for what things ihey grudged, when they were 
punished, that is, for them whom they thought to be gods ; 
[now] being punished in them, when they saw it, they acknowl- 
edged him to be the true God, whom before they denied " to 
know ; and therefore came extreme damnation upon them.

areilicy ilial worsliip llie worlis of men's iiaiuls. 

URELY vain are all men by natuie, who aie ignorant 
of God, and " could not out of the gootl things that are seen 
know him that is: neither, bj' considering the works, did they 
acknowledge the work-master ; 

2 ''But deemed either liie, or wind, or the swift air, or the 
circle of the stars, or the violenl water, or " the lights of heaven, 
to be th.e gods which govern the woild. 

3 With whose beauty if they"' being delighted took them to 
be gods ; let them know how much better the Lord of them is : 
for the first iiuthor of beauty hath created them. 

4 But if they were astonished at their power and virtue, let 
them understand by them, how much mightier he is that made 
them. 

5 For by the greatness and beauty of the creatures, pi opor- 
tionably the maker of them = is seen. 

6 But yet for this they are the less to be blamed : for they 
peradventure err, seeking God, ant! desirous to find him. 

7 For being ' conveisant in his works, they || seai-cli him dil- 
igently, and believe their sight : because the things are beauti- 
ful that are seen. 

8 Howbeit, « neither are they to be pardoned. 

9 For if they were able to know so much, that thej' could 
aim at the world ; how did they not sooner find out the Lord 
thereof ? 

10 But miserable are th.ty, and in ^ dead things is their hope, 
who called them gods ' which are the works of men's hands, 
gold and silvei-, to shew art in, and resendjlances of beasts, or a 
stone good for nothing, the work of an ancient hand.

skilfully round about, and hath wrought it handsomely, and 
made a vessel thereof fit for the service of man's life ; 

12 And after spending the || refuse of his work to dress his 
meat, hath filled himself; 

13 And taking the very refuse among those which served to 
no use, being a crooked piece of wood, ?.nd full of knots, hath 
carved it diligently, when he had nothing else to do, ' and 
formed it by the skill of his understanding, and fashioned it to 
the image of a man ; 

14 Or made it like some " vile beast, laying it over with ver- 
milion, and with paint colouring it red, and covering every 
spot therein ;

GAIN, one preparing himself to sail, and about to pass 
through t!ie raging waves, calleth upon a piece of wood, 
more rotten than the || vessel that carrieth him. 

2 For verily desire of gain devised |! that, and the workman 
built it by his skill. 

3 But thy providence, O Father, governeth it : for thou hast 
'■ made a way in the sea, and a sale path in the waves ; 

4 Shewing that thou canst save from all danger : '' yea, though 
a man Avent to sea without art. 

5 Nevertheless thou wouldest not that the works of thy wis- 
dom should be idle, and thei-efore do men commit their lives to 
a small piece of wood, and passing the rough sea in a weak 
vessel are saved. 

G ' For in the old time also, when the proud giants perished, 
the hope of the world, governed by thy hand, "^ escaped in a 
weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed of generation. 

7 For blessed is the wood whereby righteousness Cometh. 

8 But " that which is made with hands is cursed, as well it, 
as he that made it : he, because he made it ; and it, because 
being corruptible, it was called God. 

9 ' For the ungodly and his ungodliness are both alike hate- 
ful unto God. 

10 I'or s that which is made shall be punished together with 
him that made it. 

11 Therefore even || upon the idols of the Gentiles shall 
there be a visitation : because in the creature of God they are 
become an abomination, and *' t stumbling-blocks to the souls 
of men, and a || snare to the feet of the unwise. 

12 For the devising of idols was the beginning o( spiritual 
fornication, and the invention of them the corruption of life. 

13 For neither were they from ' the beginning, neither shall 
they be for ever. 

14 For by the vain glory of men they entered into the worid, 
and therefore shall they come shortly to an end. 

15 For a father afliicted with untimely mourning, when he 
hath made '^ an image of his child soon taken away, now hon- 
oured him as a god, which was then a dead man, and delivered 
to those that were under him ceremonies and sacrifices.

^ but it is the just vengeance of sinners, that punisheth always 
\ the oflence of the ungodly. 

\ CHAPTER XV. 

< I We do acknowledge the true God 7 The follv of idol-makers, and of the enemies of 

\ God's jieople ; because, beside.s the idols of the Gentiles, they worshipped wild beasts. 

I'OUT^thou, O God, art gracious and true, long-suffering, 

i J3 and in mercy ordering all things. 

\ 2 For if we sin, we are thine, knowing thy power : '' but we 

5 will not sin, knowing that we are '' counted thine. 

J 3 For to know thee is perfect righteousness : yea, to know 

s thy power is the root of immortality. 

5 4 For neither did the mischievous invention of men deceive 

I us, nor an image spotted with divers colours, the painter's fruit- 

\ less labour ; 

I 5 The sight whereof || enticeth fools to lust after it, and so 

{ they desireti the form of a dead image, that hath no breath. 

\ 6 Both they that make them, they that desire them, and they 

that worship them, are lovers of evil things, and are worthj-^ to 

have such things to trust upon. 

7 For the '' potter, tempering soft earth, fashioneth every 21! 
vessel with much labour for our service : yea, of the same clay 
he maketh "^ both tiie vessels that serve for clean uses, and like- 
wise also all such as serve to the contrary : but what is tlie use 
of either sort, the potter himself is the judge. 

8 And employing his labours lewdly, he maketh a vain god 
of the same clay, even he '' which a little before was made of 47. 
earth himself, and within a little while after returneth to the 

same, out oi' the which he was taken, when his ^ life which was fo!'"'"' '^ 
lent him shall be demanded. 

9 Notwithstanding his care is, not that he shall || have much 
labour, nor that his life is short : but striveth to excel goldsmiths 
and silversmiths, and endeavoureth to do like the workers in 

, brass, and countcth it his glory to make counterfeit things. 
\ 10 His heart is ashes, *■ his hope is more vile than earth, and '"=''■ '^' "* 
s his life of less value than clay : 

I 11 Forasmuch as he knew not his Maker, and him that in- , q^,, '> t 
spired into him an active soul, ' and breathed in a hving spirit. ' ^"^ 

12 But they counted our life a pastime, and our |j time here 
a market for gain : for, say they, we must be getting every 
way, though it be by evil means.

of the enemies, ' and a lamentable noise was carried abroad for \ 
1E.T. 12, so. children that were bewailed. | 

11"' The master and the servant were punished after one \ 

manner ; and like as the king, so suffered the common person. ^ 

12 So they all together " had innumerable dead with one kind j 
of death ; neither were the living suflicient to bury them: for in a^ 
moment the noblest oflspring of them was destroyed. 5 

13 For whereas they would not beheve any thing by reason \ 
of " the enchantments ; upon the destruction of the first-born, 5 
they acknowledged tliis people to be the sons of God. t 

14 For while all things were in quict silence, and that night 5 
was in the midst of her swift course, 5 

15 Thine Almighty word leaped down from heaven out of| 
thy royal throne, as a fierce p man of war into the midst of a \ 
land of destruction, < 

16 And brougiit thine unfeigned commandment as a sharp < 
sword, and standing up filled all things with death ; and it 5 
touched the heaven, but it stood upon the earth. ^

them sore, and terrors came upon them unlocked for. \ 

1 8 And one thrown here, and another there, half dead, shew- \ 
ed the cause of his death. j 

19 For the dreams that troubled them did "■ foreshew this, ^ 
lest they should perish, and not know why they were atilicted. < 

20 Yea, the tasting of death touched the righteous also, and \ 
there was a destruction of the ' multitude in the wilderness : \ 
but ' the wrath endured not long. \ 

21 For then the blameless man made haste, and stood forth 5 
to defend them ; and bringing the shield of his proper ministry, \ 
even prayer, andihe propitiation of incense, set himself against \ 
the wrath, and so brought the calamity to an end, declaring \ 
that he was tiiy servant. 5 

22 So he overcame the destroyer, not with strength of body, \ 
nor force of arms, but with a word subdued he him that pun-< 
ished, " alleging the oaths and covenants made with the fathers. \ 

23 For when the dead were now fallen down by heaps one ^ 
upon another, " standing between, he staj'cd the wrath, and < 
11 parted the way to the living. 5

them : for it was enough that they only tasted of ^ the wrath. \

K a way without impediment ; and out of the violent stream a s^s.^e, .3 
green field : 

8 Wherethrough all the people went that were defended 
with th}^ hand, seeing thy marvellous strange wonders. 

9 For they went at large like horses, and leaped like lambs, 
praising thee, O Lord, who hadst delivered them. 

10 For they were yet mindful of the things that were done 
while they sojourned in the strange land, hovv' the ground 
brought forth || Hies instead of cattle, and how '' the river cast n or, iux. 
up a multitude of frogs instead of fishes. 

1 1 But after\\'ard they saw a new generation of fowls, when, ' '^-^'^ 
being led with their appetite, they asked delicate meats. 

12 For cpaails came up unto them fronr the sea, for their 

II contentment. ll.or, cm- 

13 And punishments came upon the sinners, not without for- •j."x'',y ,g 
mer signs by the force of thunders : for they suffered justly 
according to their own wickedness, insomuch as they used a 

more hard and hateful behaviour toward strangei'S. 

14 For 'the Sodomites did not receive those, whom they i Gen. 19,4 
knew not when they came : but these brought friends into bond- ^' 

age, that had well deserved of them. 

15 And not only so, but peradventure some respect shall be 
had of those, because they used strangers not friendly : 

16 But these very grievously alllicted them, whom they had 
received v/ith feastings, and were already made partakers of 
the same laws with them. 

17 Therefore even with blindness were these stricken, ^ as k Gen. 19, 
those were at the doors of the righteous man : when, being g'kinc-s e, 
compassed about with horrible great darkness, every one sought is. 

the passage of his own doors. ■^'^'^ '^' '' 

18 For the elements were changed t in themselves by a t Gr.^y 
kind of harmony, like as, in a psaltery, notes change the name themaeKcs. 
of the tune, and yet are alwaj's sounds ; which may well be 
perceived by the sight of the things that have been done. 

19 ' For earthly things were turned into watery, and the i ps. 107,34. 
things that before swam in the water, now went upon the ground. '^• 

26 '" The fire had power in the water, forgetting his own mch. is.i? 
virtue : and the water forgat his own quenching nature. 

21 On the other side, the flames wasted not the flesh of the 
corruptible living things, though they walked therein ; " neither „ p^. tii,22 
melted they the icy kind of heavenly meat, that was of nature 

apt to melt.

e^ Prologue made by an uncertain Author, 

THIS Jesus was the son of Sirach, and grandchild to Jesus of the same name with him : this man tlierefore lived in the latter 
times, after the people had been led away captive, and called home again, and almost after all the prophets. Now his 
grandfather Jesus, as he himself whnesseth, was a man of great diligence and wisdom among the Flebrews ; who did not only 
gather the grave and short sentences of wise men, that had been bclbre him, but himself also uttered some of his own, full of 
much understanding and wisdom. When as therefore the first Jesus died, leaving tliis book almost II perfected, Sirach his son 
receiving it after him, left it to his own son Jesus, who having gotten it into his hands, compiled it all orderlj' into one volume, 
and called it Wisdom, entitling it both by his own name, his father's name, and his grandfather's ; alluring the hearer by the 
very name of Wisdom, to have a greater love to the study of this book. It containeth therefore wise sayings, dark sentences, 
and parables, and certain particular ancient godly stories of men that pleased God ; also his prayer and song; moreover, what 
benefits God had vouchsafed his people, and what plagues he had heaped upon their enemies. This Jesus did imitate Solomon, 
and was nu less famous for wisdom and learning, both bemg indeed a xnan of great learning, and so reputed also.

The Prologue of the Wisdom 0/ JESUS, the So7i of SIRACH. 



"IIEREAS many and great things liave been delivered unto us by the law and the pro])iiets, and by others that have 
1 f followed their steps, I'or tlie which lliings Israel ought to be coinniended for learning and wisdom ; and whereof not only 
the readers must needs become skilfnl themselves, but also they that desire to learn be able to ])rolit them which are || without, 
both by speaking and writing: my grandl'afhcr Jfesns, when he had miich given himself to the reading of the law, and the 
])rophets, a)id other books of our fathers, and had gotten therein good judgment, was drawn on also himself to write something 
pei'taining to learning ami wisdom ; to the intent that those which are desirous tt> learn, and are addicted to these things, might 
profit much more in living according to the law. Wliercfore let mo entreat you to read it with favour and attention, and to 
pardon us, wherein we may seem to come short of some words which we have laboured to interpret. For the same things 
ntteied in Hebrew, and translated ir.to another tongue, have not tlie same i'orce in then), and not only these things, but the law 
itself, and the t prophets, and the rest of the books, have no small j| difference, when they are spoken in their own language. 
For in the eight and thirtieth year coming into Egypt, when Eucrgetes was king, and continuing there some time, I found a 
11 Ijook of no small learning : thej-efore 1 tliought it most necessary for me to bestow some diligence and travail to interpret it ; 
using great wntcld'ulness and skill in that spsice to bring the book to an end, and set it forth for them also, which in a strange 
countiy are willing to learn, being prepared before in manners to live after the law.

1 All v'isiliim is from Ood 10 lie f;iv(;tli i< to tlieni that love liini 11 Tlie fear of God 

is full of many lilcssiiitrs 2S To fear God wiilic}ut hyiiocrisy. 

ALL " wisdom cnnieth from the Lord, and is \^ith him forever. 
2 '■ Who can number the sand of the sea, and the drops of 
rain, and the days of eternity ? 

3 Who can find out the height of heaven, and the breadth of 
the earth, and the deep, and wisdom ? 

4 Wisdom hath been created befoie all things, and the un- 
derstanding of prudence from everlasting. 

5 The word of' God most high is the fountain of wisdom j 
and her ways are everlasting commandments. 

G •^ To whom hath the root of wisdom been revealed ? or 
who hath known her wise counsels } 

r [I'nto wiiom hath the knowledge of wisdom been made 
maiiilKst ? and who hath understood her great experience t] 

8 There is " one wise and greatly to be feared, the Lord sit- 
ting upon his throne. 

!) He created her, and saw her, and numbered her, and pour-; 
ed her out upon all his works. 

10 She is with all flesh according to his gift, '' and he hath 
given her to them tiiat love him. ; 

11 The fear of the Lord is honour, and glorj', and gladness, 
and a crown of rejoicing. ! 

12 The fear ol"the I^ord maket!) a merry heart, and givctli : 
joy, and gladness, and a long life. ; 

13 ^\^loso leareth the Lord, it shall go well with hiiii at the ; 
last, and he || shall find favour in the day of his death. ; 

14 » To fear the Lord is the beginning of wisdom : and it ! 
was created with the faithful in the womb. 

la She hath built an everlasting foundation with men, and 
sl-.e shall continue ^- with their seed. 

16 To fear the Lord is fulness of wisdom, and filleth men ■ 
with her fruits. ; 

17 She filleth all their house with things desirable, and the ; 
garners with her increase. ; 

1 S Tlie fear of the Lord is ' a crown of \visdom, making: 
peace and perfect health to llourish ; both v/hich ave the gifts ; 
of God : and it cnlargeth their rejoicing that love iiim. ; 

1.9 Wisdom rainelh down skill and knowledge of understand- ! 
ing, and exalteth them to honour that hold her fast. ; 

20 The root of wisdom is '' to fear the Lord, and the branches : 
thereof are long life. ; 

21 The fear of the Lord driveth away sins : and where it is : 
present, it turneth away wrath. \ 

22 A I'uriotjs man cannot || be justified ; for the sway of his | 
fury shall be his destruction. i 

23 ' A ]3atient man will bear for a time, and afterward joy '< 
shall spring up unto him. ; 

24 He will hide his words for a time, and the lips of many 1 
shall declare his wisdtmi. ; 

25 The parables of knowledge are in the treasures of wisdom : . 
but godliness is an abomination to a sinner. ■ 

2() If thou desire wisdom, keep the commandments, ""and 
the Lord shall give her unto thee. 1 

27 For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and instruction : and ■ 
faith and meekness are his delight. ; 

28 il Distrust not the fear of the Lord when thou art poor : ; 
and come not unto him with a double heart. ■ 

29 Be not a hypocrite hi the sight of men, and take good i 
heed what thou sjxnikest. 1 

30 Exalt not thyself, " lest thou fall, and bring disliononr ; 
upon thy soul, and so God discover thy secrets, and cast thee I 
down ill the midst of the congregation, because thou earnest ' 



; not in truth to the fear of the Lord, but thy heart is full of 
deceit. 

CHAPTER H. 

1 God's seiTants must looU for trouliic, and be |)atieni, and trust in Iiiia 12 For wo to 

them that do not so 15 But tliey that fear the Lord will do so. 

1\/rY son, if thou come to serve the Lord, prepare thy soul 
-LvA ■• for templalion. 

2 Set thy heart aright, and constantly endure, and ||make 
not haste in time of trouble. 

3 Cleave unto him, and depart not away, ''that thou mayest 
be increased at thy last end. 

4 Vvliatsoever is brought upon thee, take cheerfully, and be 
patient ^\-hen th.ou art changed to a low estate. 

.5 " For gold is tri'^d in the fire, and acceptable men in the 
furnace of adversity. 

6 Believe in him, and he will help thee ; order thy way 
aright^ '' and trust in him. 

7 \e. that fear the Lord, wait for his mercy ; and go not aside, 
lest ye fall. 

8 Ye that fear the Lord, believe him ; and your reward shall 
not fail. 

9 Ye that fear the Lord, hope for good, and for everlasting 
joy and mercy. 

10 Look at the generations of old, and see ; " did ever any 
trust in the Lord, and was confounded ? or did any abide in 
liis fear, and was forsaken ? or whom did he ever despise, that 
called upon him ? 

1 1 For the Lord is full of compassion and mercy, long-suffer- 
ing, and very pitiful, and forgiveth sins, ' and saveth in time 
of affliction. 

12 Wo be to fearful hearts, and faint hands, and the sinner 
that goeth two ways !

5 In the hand of God is the prosperity of man : and upon 
the !| person of the scribe shall he lay his honour. 

6 ' Bear not hatred to thy neighbour for every wrong ; and 
do nothing at all by injurious practices. 

7 '^ Pride is hateful before God and man : and by both doth 
one commit iniquity. 

8 Because of unrighteous dealings, injuries, and riches got by 
deceit, tlie kingtlom is translated from one people to another. 

9 " Why is earth and ashes proud ? There is not a more wicked 
thing than a covetous man : for such a one setteth his own soul 27. 
to sale ; because while he liveth, he castetli away his bowels. 

10 The physician cutteth ofl"a long disease ; and he that is 
to-day a king, to-morrow shall die. 

1 1 For when a man is deal, ^ he shall inherit creeping things, f isa. 14^11 
beasts, and worms. 

12 The beginning of pride is when one departeth from God, 
and his heart is turned away from his Maker. 

13 For pride is the beginning of sin, and he that hath it shall 
pour out abomination : and therefore the Lord brought upon 
them sti'ange calamities, and overthrew them utterly. 

14 t' The Lord hath cast down the thrones of proud princes, 
and set up the meek in their stead. 

15 The Lord hath plucked up the roots of the proud nations, 
and planted the lowly in their place. 

16 *■ The Lord overthrew countries of the heathen, and de- 
stroyed them to the foundations of the earth. 

17 He took some of them away, and destroyed them, and 
hath made their memorial to cease from the earth. 

18 Pride was not made for men, nor furious anger for them 
that are born of a woman. 

19 They that fear the Lord are a sure seed, and they that 
love him ' an honourable plant : they that regard not the law 
arc a dishonourable seed ; they that transgress the command- 
ments are a j| deceivable seed. 

20 Among brethren he tliat is chief is lnonourable ; "^ so are 
they that fear the Lord, in his eyes. 

21 The fear of the Lord goeth before || the obtaining of au- kMai.2,17 
thority ; but roughness and pride is the losing thereof. ||0r,prii» 

22 Whether he be rich, noble, or poor, their glory is the fear «>«(i£y. 
of the Lord. 

23 ' It is not meet to despise the poor man that hath under- \\ P^t-2," 
standing ; neither is it convenient to magnify a sinful man 

24 '"Great men, and judges, and potentates, shall be hon- m Rom- 13, 
oured ; yet is there none of them greater than he that feareth 

the Lord. 

25 " Unto the servant that is wise shall they that are free do •> Prov. i"^ 
service : and he that hath knowledge " will not grudge when ^ 

he is reformed. 

26 Be not overwise in doing thy business ; and boast not thy 
self in the time of thy distress. 

27 '' Better is he that laboureth, and aboundeth in all things, p pro».i2i 
than he that boasteth himself, and wanteth bread. s- 

28 Mj' son, glorify thy soul in meekness, and give it honour 
according to the dignity thereof. 

29 Who will justify iiim 1 that sinneth against his own soul ? 
and who will honour him that dishonoureth his own life ? 

30 The poor man is honoured for his skill, and ' the rich 
man is honoured for his riches. 

31 He that is honoured in poverty, how much more in riches ? 
and he that is dislionourable in riches, how much more in pov- 
erty ?

12 Again, there is anotlier that is slow, and hath ne?d of help, 
wanting ability, and full of poverty ; '' yet the eye of the Lord 
looked upon him for good, and set him up from his low estate, 

13 And lifted up his iiead from misery" ; so that many that 
saw it marvelled at him. 

14 ' Prosperity and adversity, life and death, poverty and 
riches, come of the Lord. 

l."> '' Wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the law, are 
of the Lord : love, and the way of good works, are from him. 

16 Error and darkness had their beginning together with 
sinners : and evil sliall wax old witii them that glory therein. 

17 The gift of the Lord remaiiieth with the godly, and ' his 
favour bringeth prosperity for ever. 

18 There is that waxetii rich by his wariness and pinching, 
and tiiis is the portion of his reward : 

19 Whereas he saith, '" I have Ibund rest, and now will eat 
continually of my goods ; and yet he knoweth not what time 
shall II come upon him, and that he must leave thise things to 
others, and die. 

20 " JJe steadfast in thy covenant, and be conversant therein, 
and wax old in thy work. 

21 Marvel not at the works of sinners ; but trust in the Lord, 
° and abide in thy labour : for it is an easy thing in the sight of 
the Lord, on the sudden to make a poor man rich. 

22 The blessing of the Lord is || in the reward of the godly, 
and suddenly he maketh his blessing to flourish. 

23 Say not, r What profit is there of my service ? and what 
good things shall I have hereafter ? 

24 Again, say not, I have enough, and possess many things, 
and what evil can come to ine hereafter ? 

25 '' In the day of prosperity there is a forgetfulness of afflic- 
tion : and in the day of aliliction there is no more remembrance 
of prosperity. 

26 P'or it is an easy thing unto the Lord in the day of death 
■■ to rewartl a man according to his ways. 

27 The affliction of an hour maketh a man forget pleasure : 
and in his end his deeds shall be discovered. 

28 Judge ° none blessed before his death : for a man shall be 
known in his children. 

29 Bring not every man into thy house: for the deceitful 
man halh many trains. 

30 l^ike as a partridge taken [and kept] in a cage, so is the 
heart of the proud ; ancl like as a spy, watclieth he for thj' fall : 

31 For he lieth in wait, and turneth good into evil, and in 
thirds worthy praise will lay blame upon thee. 

32 ' Of a spark of fire, a heap of coals is kindled : and a sin- 
ful man lay<Hh wait for blood. 

33 Take heed of a mischievous man, " for he worketh wick-

plenished : but the || kindred of the wicked shall speedily be- 
come desolate. 

5 Many such things have I seen with mine eyes, and mine 
ear hath heard greater things than these. 

6 ' In the congregation of the ungodly shall a ilre be kindled ; 
and in a rebellious nation wrath j| is set on fire. 

J 7 ' He was not pacified toward the old giants who fell away 
^ in the strength of their foolishness. 

> 8 "^ Neither spared he the place where Lot sojourned, but 
< abhorred them for their pride. 

5 9 He pitied not the people of perdition, who were taken away 

^ in their sins : 

I 10 '' Nor the six hundred thousand footmen, who were gath- 

^ ered together in the hardness of their hearts. 

i 11 And il" there be one stiiT-necked among the people, it is 
marvel if he escape unpunished : for ^ mercy and wrath are with 
him ; he is mighty to forgive, and to pour out displeasure. 

12 As his mercy is great, so is his correction also : he judg- 
eth a man according to his works. 

13 The sinner siiall not escape with his spoils : and the pa 
I tience of the godly shall not be frustrate. 

I 14 Make way for every work of mercj' : for every man shall 

i find according to his works. 

i 15 The Lord hardened Pharaoh, that he should not know 

> him, that his powerful works might be known to the world. 

i l6 His mercy is manifest to every creature ; and he hath 

5 separated his light from the darkness with an || adamant. 

} 17 Say not thou, I will hide myself trom the Lord : shall any 

? remember me from above r I shall not be remembered among 

5 so manj' people : for what is my soul among .such an infinite 

J number of creatures ? 

i 18' Behold, the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, the deep,

? shall visit. 

5 19 The mountains also and foundations of the earth shall be 
I shaken with trembling, when the Lord looketh upon them. 
( 20 No heart can thin-k upon these things worthilj' . and who 
I is able to conceive liis ways ? 

> 21 It is a tempest which no man can see : lor the most part 
I of his works are hid. 

I 22 Who can declare the works of his justice ? or who can 
i endure them ? for his covenant is afar off, and the trial of ail

26 The works of the Lord are done in judgment from the >

parts thereof. _ \ 

27 He garnished iiis works for ever, and in his hand are the ^

30 With all manner of living things hath he covered the face \ 
thereof; and they shall return into it again. \

25 Tum to liim while thou livest. 5 

1"^HE Lord "" created man of the earth, and turned him into \ 
- it again. _ J 

2 He gave tliem {<i\v days, and a short time, and power also 
over tlie things therein. 

3 He endued them with strength by themselves, and ''made 
them according to his im;ige, 

4 And put the fear !! of man upon all flesh, and gave jiim do- 
minion over beasts and fowls. 

5 [They received the use of the five operations of the Lord, 
and in the sixth place he imparted them understanding, and in 
the seventii speech, an interpreter of the cogitations thereof.] 

6 Counsel, and a tongue, and eyes, ears, and a heart, gave 
he tliem to understand. 

7 Withal he filled tliem with the knowledge of understanding, 
and shewed tliem good and evil. 

8 He set his eye upon their hearts, that he might shew them 
the greatness of his works. 

9 He gave them to glory in his marvellous acts for ever, that 
they might declare his works with understanding. 

10 And the elect shall praise his holy name. 

1 1 Piesides this, he gave them knowledge, and the law of life 
for a heritage. 

12 He made an everlasting covenant vvitii them, and shewed 
tlieni iiis judgments. 

13 Their eyes saw the majesty of his glory, and their ears 
heard his glorious voice. 

14 And he said unto them. Beware of all unrighteousness ; \ 
cExod. 20. and he ''gave every man commandment concerning his neigh- 5 

hour. J 

lb Their ways are ever before him, and shall not be hid from s 

his eyes. _ i

they make to themselves fleslily hearts for stonJ^ 5

18 Whom, being his first-born, he nourishetii with discipline, j 
and, giving him the light of his love, doth not forsake him. \ 

19 Therefore all their works are as the sun before him, and 5 
his ej'es are continually upon their ways. ^

4 God's works are to be wondered at 9 Man's life is short 11 God is merciful 15 Do 

not hleniisii thy good de<?ds with ill \vords.«..22 Defer not to be justified 30 Follow

II|'E that liveth for ever ''created all things in general. 
1 2 The Lord only is righteous, and there is none other 
but he. 

3 Who governeth the world with the palm of his hand, and 
all things obey his will : for he is the King of all, by his power 
''dividing holy things among them from profane. 

4 To whom hath he given power to declare his works? ■= and 
who shall find out his noble acts ? 

5 Who shall number the strength of his majesty? and who 
shall also tell out his mercies ? 

6 As for the wondrous works of the Lord, there may nothing 
be taken fiom them, neither may any thing be put unto them, 
neither can the ground of them be found out. 

7 When a man hath done, then he beginneth ; and when he 
leaveth ofl', then he shall be doubtful. 

8 What is man, and' whereto serveth he ? what is his good, 
and what is his evil ? 

9 "^ The number of a man's days at the most are a hundred d Paai. ao, 
years. ^^ 

10 As a drop of water unto the sea, and a gravel-stone in 
comparison of the sand ; so are a ° thousand years to the days 
of eternity. 

1 1 Therefore is God patient with them, and poureth forth his 
mercy upon them. 

12 He saw and perceived their end to be evil ; therefore he 
multiplied his compassion. 

13 The mercy of man is toward his neighbour ; but the mercy 
of the Lord is upon all flesh : he reproveth, and nurtureth, and 
teacheth, and bringeth again, as a shepherd his flock. 

14 He hath mercy on them that receive discipline, and that 
diligently seek after his judgments. 

15 ' My son, blemish not thy good deeds, neither use uncom- 
fortable \\'ords when thou givest any thing. 

16 Shall not the Ae\w assuage the heat? so is a word better 
than a gift. 

17 Lo, is not a word better than a gift ? but both are with a 
gracious man. 

18 A fool will upbraid churlishly, and a gift of the envious 
consumeth the eyes. 

19 Learn before thou speak,and use physic or ever tliou be sick. 

20 Befi)re judgment ^ examine thyself, and in the day of visita- e ' Cor. ii

21 Humble thyself before thou be sick^ and in the time of sins 
shew repentance. 

22 Let nothing hinder thee to pay thy vow in due time, and 
defer not until dea'di to be justified 

23 Before thou prayest, prepare thyself; and be not as one 
that tempt eth the Lord. 

24 '' Think upon the wrath that shall be at the end, and the J/gg'*''^' 
time of vengeance, when lie shall turn away his face. 

25 When thou hast enough, remember the time of hunger : 
and when thou art rich, think upon poverty and need. 

26 From the morning until the evening the time is changed, 
and all things are soon done bel'ore the Lord. 

27 'A wise man will fear in every thing, and in the day of 
sinning he will beware of oflence: but a fool will not observe time. 

28 Every man of untlerstanding knoweth wisdom, and wilJ 
give pi'aise unto him that found her. 

29 They that were of understanding in sayings, became also 
wise themselves, and poured forth exquisite parables. 

30 " Go not after thy lusts, but refrain thyself from thine ap 
petites. 

31 If thou givest thy soul the desiresthat please her, she will 
make thee a laughing-stock to thine enemies that malign thee. 

32 Take not pleasure in much good cheer, neither be tied to 
the expense thereof. 

33 Ije not made a beggar by banqueting upon borrowing^ 
when thou hast nothing in thy purse : for thou shalt lie in wait 
for thine own life, and be talked on.

2 Wine and women will make men of understanding to fall

3 Mollis and worms siiall have him to heritage, and a bold

4 " He that is hasty to give credit is light-minded ; and lie 
that sinnetii shall oflVnd against his own soul. 

5 Wlioso lalct-tli pleasur'^ in wickedness shall be condemned : 
but he tliat resisteth pleasures crowneth his life. 

6 He that can rule his tongue shall live without strife ; and he 
that liateth babbling shall have less evil. 

7 Rehearse not unto another that which is told unto thee, and 
thou shalt fare never the worse. 

8 Whether it be |j to a friend or foe, talk not of other men's 
lives ; and if tiiou canst without offence, reveal them not. 

9 !• or he lieard and observed thee, and when time cometh he 
will jl hate thee. 

10 If thou hast heard a word, let it die with thee ; and be 
bold, it will not burst thee. 

11 A fool travaileth with a word, as a woman in labour of a

12 As an arrow that sticketh in a man's thigh, so is a word

13 'Admonish a friend, it may be he hath not done it : and 
if he have done it, that he do it no more. 

14 11 Admonish thy friend, it may be he hath not said it : and 
if he have, that he speak it not again. 

15 Admonish a friend : for many times it is a slander, and 
believe not every tale. 

16 There is one that slippeth in his speech, but not || from 
his heart; and who is he that hath not offended with his 'tongue? 

17 II Admonish thy neighbour before thou threaten him ; and 
not being angry, give place to the law of the Most High. 

18 The fear of the I^ord is the first step || to be accepted 
[of him,] and wisdom obtaineth his love. 

19 The knowledge of the commandments of the Lord is the 
doctrine of life : and they that do things that please him shall 
receive the fruit of the tree of immortality. 

20 The fear of the Lord is all wisdom ; and in all wisdom is the 
performance of the law, and the knowledge of his omnipotency. 

21 If a servant say to bis master, I will not do as it pleaseth 
thee ; though afterward he do it, he angereth him that nour- 
isheth him. 

22 The knowledge of wickedness is not wisdom, neither at 
any time the counsel of sinners prudence. 

23 There is a Avickedness, and the same an abomination ; 
and there is a Ibol wanting in wisdom. 

24 He that hath small understanding, and feareth God, is 
better than one that hath much wisdom, and transgresseth the 
law of the Most High. 

25 There is an exquisite subtilty, and the same is unjust ; 
and there is one that turneth aside to make judgment appear ; 
and there is a wise man that ||jiistifieth in judgment. 

26 There is a wicked man that hangetli down his head 
II sadly ; but inwardly he is full of deceit, 

27 Casting down his countenance, and making as if lie heard 
not : where he is not known, he will do thee a mischief before 
thou be aware. 

28 And if for want of power he be hindered from sinning, 
yet when he findeth opportunity he will do evil. 

29 A man may be known by his look, and one that hath un- 
derstanding by his counter:ance, when thou meetest him. 

30 A man's attire, and excessive laughter, and gait, shew 
what he is. 

CHAPTER XX. 

1 01 silence and speaking 10 Of gifts and gain 18 Of slipping Ijy the tongue 24 Of 

lying 27 Of divers cautions. 

THERE is a reproof that is not i| comely : again, some man 
holdeth his tongue, and he is wise. 

2 It is much better to reprove, than to be angry secretly : 
and he that confesseth his fiult shall be preserved from hurt. 

3 How good is it, when thou art reproved, to shew repent- 
ance! tor so shah thou escape wilful sin. 

4 As is the lust of '^ a eunuch to deflour a virgin ; so is he that 
executeth judgment with violence. 

5 There is one that keepeth silence, and is found wise : and 
another by much babbling i)ecometh hateful. 

6 Some man holdeth his tongue, because he hath not to an- 
swer : and some keepeth silence, '■ knowing his time. 

7 A wise man will hold his ''tongue till he see opportunity : 
but a babbler and a fool will regard no time. 

8 He that useth many words shall be abhorred ; and he that 
taketh to himself authority therein shall be hated.

15 if a skilful man hear a wise word, he will commend it,

17 They inquire at the moulii of the wise man in the congre-

18 As is a iiouse that is destroyed, so is wisdom to a fool :

19 Doctrine unto fools is as fetters on the feet, and like man-

24 It is the rudeness of a man to hearken at the door : but a

3 An evii-nurturefl son is the dishonour of his father that be- 
gat hiin : and a [foolish] daughter is born to his loss. 

4 » A wise daughter || shall bring an inheritance to her hus- 
band ; but she that liveth dishonestly is her father's hevHviness. 

5 She that is bold dishonoureth both her father and her hus- 
band, but they both shall despise her. 

6 A tale out of season [is ;is] musick in mourning : but stripes 
and correction of wisdom are never out of time. 

7 Whoso teacheth a fool is as one that ghieth a potsherd to- 
gether, and as he that waketh one from a sound sleep. 

8 lie that telleth a tale to a fool speaketh to one in a slum- 
ber : when he hath told his tale he will say. What is the matter t 

9 If children live honestly, and have || wherewithal, they 
sliali cover the baseness of their parents.

1 1 '' Weep for the dead, lor he hath lost the light: and weep 
for the fool, for he wanteth understanding : make liTile weep- 
ing for the dead, for he is at rest: but thelife of thefool is worse 
than death. 

12 Seven days do men mourn for him th.at is dead ; but for a 
fool and an ungodly man all the days of his life. 

13 Talk not mucli with a fool, and go not to him that hath no 
understanding:' beware of him, lest thou havetrouble, and thou 
shalt never be defiled j| with his fooleries : depart fronihim,and 
thou shalt fiiul rest, and never be j| disquieted with nuidness. 

14 What is heavier than lead ? and what is the name thereof, 
but a fool ? 

15 •'Sand, and salt, and a mass of iron, is easier to bear than 
a man without understanding. 

] 6 As timber girt and bound together in a building cannot be 
loosed with shaking : so the heart tliat is established by advised 
counsel shall fear at no time. 

17 A heart settled upon a thought of understanding is as a 
fair plastering || on the wall of a gallery. 

18 Pales set on a high place will never stand against the 
wind : so a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool cannot stand 
against any fear, 

19 He that pricketh the eye will make tears to fall: and he 
that pricketh the heart maketh it to shew her knowledge. 

20 Whoso casteth a stone at the birds frayeth them away : and 
he that upbraideth his friend breaketh friendship. 

2] Though thou drewcst a sword at thy friend, yet despair 
not : for there may be a returning [to favour.] 



> 22 If thou hast opened thy moutli against tliy friend, fear not 
\ for there may be a reconciliation : except for upbraidin^^ 
' pride, or disclosing of secrets, or a treacherous wound : for, for 
\ these things every friend will depart. 

\ 23 Be faithful to thy neighbour in his poverty, that thou 
j mayest rejoice in his prosperity : abide steadfast unto him in the 
) time of his trouble, that thou nuiyest be heir with him in his her- 
j itage : for a mean estate is not alwa\'sto be contemned : nor the 
rich that is foolish to be had in atlmiration. 

24 As the vapour and smoke of a iurnace goeth before the 
fire ; so reviling before blood. 

25 I will not be ashamed to defend a friend ; neither will I 
hide myself from him. 

26 And if any evil happen unto me by him, every one that 
I hearetii it will beware of him.

LORD, Father and Governor of all my whole life, leave

2 Who will setscourgesover my thouglns, and the discipline 
of wisdom over my heart ? that they spare me not for mine ig- 
norances, and it pass not by my sins : 

3 Lest mine ignorances increase, and my sins abound to my 
destruction, andl fall before mine adversaries, and mine enemy 
rejoice over me, whose hope is far from thy mercy. 

4 O Lord, Father and God of my life, give me not a proud look, 
but turn away from thy servants always || a haughty mind. 

5 'I'urn away from me vain hopes and concupiscence, and 
thou shalt hold him up that is desirous always to serve thee. 

6 Let not the greediness of the belly nor lust of the flesh 
take holil ol' me ; and give not over me thy servant into an im-

7 Hear, O ye children, the discipline of the mouth : lie that 
keepeth it shall never be taken in his lips. 

8 The sinner shall be left in his foolislniess : both the evil 
speaker and the proud shall fall thereby. 

9 " Accustom not thy mouth to swearing ; neither use thj'- 
selt'to the naming of the Holy One. 

10 For as a servant that is continually beaten shall not be 
without a blue mark : so he that sweareth and nameth God 
continually shall not be faultless.

5 quity, and the plague shall never depart Irom liis house : if he

E that revengeth shall find vengeance from the Lord, 
and he will siuely keep his sins [in remembrance.] 

2 '' Forgive thy neighbour the hurt that he hath done unto 
thee, so shall thy sins also be Ibrgiven when thou prayest. 

3 ' One man beareth hatred against another, and doth he 
seek pardon from the Lord .' 

4 He sheweth no mercy to a man, which is like himself: and 
doth he ask forgiveness of his own sins ? 

5 If he that is but flesh nourish hatred, who will entreat for 
pardon of his sins ? 

6 '' Reniembei' thy end, and let enmity cease ; [remember] 
corruption and death, and abide in the commandments. 

7 " Remember the commandments, and bear no malice to 
thy neighbour : [remember] the covenant of the Highest, and 
wink at ignorance. 

8 ''Abstain from strife, and thou shalt diminish thy sins : for 
a fiirious man will kindle strife. 

9 A sinful man disquieteth friends, and maketh debate 
them that be at peace. 
As the matter of the fire is, so it burneth : and as a man's

() Prov. 27, another, even as the '.pceness of a face to a face.

' he is their mighty protection and strong stay, a defence from 
heat, '' and a cover from the sun at noon, a preservation from 
stumbling, and a help from falling.

health, life, and blessing.

6 Forget not thy friend in thy mind, and be not unmindful of

counselletii for himself. 

8 '' Beware of a counsellor, and know before ]| what need he

9 And say unto thee, Thy way is good : and afterward he

counsel from such as envy the.". 

11 Neither consult with a woman touching her of whom she 
is ■= jealous; neither with a coward in matters of war ; nor with 
a merchant concerning exchange ; nor with a buyer of selling ; 
nor with an envious man of thankfulness ; nor with an unmer- 
ciful man touching kindness ; nor with the slothful for any work ; 
nor with a hireling for a year of finishing work ; nor with an 
idle servant of much business: ' hearken not unto these in any 
matter of counsel.

to keep the commandments of the Lord, wliose mind is accor-

13 And let the counsel of thine own heart stand : for there is 
no man more faithful unto thee than it.

CHAPTER XLVI. 

Tlie praise of JosJiua, Caleb, and Samuel. 

»^Num.27, TESUS *the son of Nave was valiant in the wars, and was 
Deut. 34, D. ^ the successor of Moses in prophecies, who according to his 
Josh.],2.Ji name was made great for the saving of the elect of God, and 

taking vengeance of the enemies that rose up against them, that 

he might set Israel in their inheritance. 

2 How great glory gat he, when he did lift up his hands, 
and stretched out his sword against the cities ! 

3 Who before him stood to it ? for the Lord himself brought 
his enemies unto him. 

4 '' Did not the sun go back by his means ? and was not one 
day as long as two ? 

5 He called upon the most high Lord, when the enemies 
pressed upon him on every side ; and the great Lord heard him. 

6 And with hailstones of mighty power he made the battle 
to fall violently upon the nations, and in the descent [of Beth- 
horon] he destroyed tiiem that resisted, that the nations might 
know all tlieir strength, because he fought in the sight of the 
Lord, and he followed the Miglity One. 

7 In the time of Moses also he did a work of mercy, he and 
Caleb the son of Jephunne, in that they withstood the congre- 
gation, and witliheld the people from sin, and appeased the 
wicked murmuring. 

8 ''And of six hundred thousand people on foot, they two 
were preserved to bring them into the heritage, even unto the 
land that floweth with milk and honey. 

9 The Lord gave strength also unto Caleb, which remained

4 All, except David, and Ezekias, and Josias, were detec-

5 Therefore he gave their || power unto others, ai\d their

6 ' They burnt the chosen city of tiie sanctuary, and made I

prayer before him that is merciful, till the solemnity of the Lord

whole congregation of the children of Israel, to give the blessing 
of the Lord with his lips, and to rejoice in his name.

THEREFORE the Lord hath " made good his word, which 
he pronounced against us, and against our judges that 
judged Israel, and against our kings, and against our princes, 
and against the men of Israel and Juda, 

2 To bring upon us great plagues, such as never happened 
under the whole heaven, as it came to pass in Jerusalem, accor- 
ding to the things that were written in the law of Moses ; 

3 That a man should '' eat the flesh of his own son, and the 
flesh of his own daughter. 

4 Moreover he hath delivered them to be " in subjection to 
all the kingdoms that are round about us, to be as '' a reproach 
and desolation among all the people round about, where the 
Lord hath scattered them. 

5 Thus we t were cast down, and not exalted, because we 
have sinned against the Lord our God, and have not been obedi- 
ent unto his voice. 

.6 = To the Lord our God appertaineth righteousness : but 
unto us and to our fathers open shame, as appeareth this day. 

7 For all these plagues are come upon us, ' which the Lord 
hath pronounced against us. 

8 s Yet have we not prayed before the Lord, that we miglit 
turn every one from the imaginations of his wicked heart.

their heads. ; 

32 They roar and cry before their gods, as men do at the ; 
feast when one is dead. < 

33 '^riie priests also take oft' their garments, and clothe their i 
wives and children. < 

34 Whether it be evil that one doeth unto them, or good, < 
r they are not able to recompense it : they can neither set up a \ 
king, nor put him down. < 

35 In like manner they can neither give riches nor money : * 
though a man make a vow unto them, and keep it not, they ! 
will not require it. ; 

3G '' They can save no man from death, neither deliver the J 
weak from the mighty. ; 

37 They cannot restore a blind man to his sight, nor help < 
any man in his distress. < 

S8 They can shew no mercy to the widow, nor do good to ; 
the fatherless. ! 

39 Their gods of wood, and which are ^ overlaid with gold \ 
and silver, are like the stones that be hewn out of the mountain : \ 
they that worship them shall be confounded. . \ 

40 How sliould a man then think and say that they are gods, j 
when even the Chaldeans themselves di-shonour them ? i 

41 Who, if they shall see one dumb that cannot speak, they < 
II bring him, ' and entreat Bel thai he may speak, as though he \ 
were able to understand. \ 

A'-l Yet they cannot understand this themselves, and leave j 
them : for they have no || knowledge. J 

43 The women also with cords about them, sitting in the ways, < 
burn bran (or perfume : but if any of them, drawn by some that \ 
passeth by, lie with him, she reproacheth her fellow, that she \ 
was not thought as worthy as herself, nor her cord broken. < 

44 Whatsoever is done among them is false : how may it < 
then be thought or said that they are gods ? \

a verse 39. 



b 1 Esdras 



Apocrypha 

45 They are made of ' carpenters and goldsmiths : they can 
be nothing else than the workmen will have them to be. 

46 And they themselves that made theiri can never continue 
long; how should then the things that are made of them be gods? 

47 For they left lies and reproaches to them that come after 

48 For when there cometh any war or plague upon them, the 
priests consult with themselves, where they may be hidden 
with them. 

49 How then cannot men perceive that they be no gods, 
" which can neither save themselves from war nor from plague ? 

50 " For seeing they be but of wood, and overlaid with silver 
and gold, it shall be known hereafter that they are false : 

51 And it shall manifestly appear to all nations and kings i6. 
that they are no gods, ^ but tlie works of men's hands, and that p^ ,,5 ^ 
there is no work of God in them. 

52 Who then may not know that they are no gods ? 

53 For neither can they set up a king in the land, ^ nor give 
rain unto men. 

54 Neither can they judge their own cause, nor redress a 
wrong, being unable : for they are as crows between heaven 
and earth. 

55 Whereupon when fire falleth upon the house of gods of 
wood, or laid over with gold or silver, their priests ^vill flee 
away, and escape ; but they themselves shall be burned asun- 
der like beams. 

56 Moreover they cannot withstand any king or enemies r 
how can it then be thought or said that they be gods ? 

57 Neither are those " gods of wood, and laid over with silver 
or gold, able to escape either from thieves or robbers. 

58 Whose gold, and silver, and garments wherewith they are 
clothed, they tliat are strong do take, and go away withal : nei- 
ther are they able to h(^lp themselves. __ 

59 Therefore it is better to be a king ''that sheweth his pow- 4,i, 12 
er, or else a profitable vessel in a house, which the owner shall 
have use of, than such ffdse gods ; or to be a door in a house, 
to keep such things safe as be therein, than such false gods ; or 
a pillar of wood in a palace, than such false gods. 

60 For sun, moon, and stars, being bright, and sent to do 
their offices, are obedient. 

61 In like manner the lightning when it breaketh forth is 
easy to be seen ; and || after the same manner the wind blow- 
eth in every country. 

62 And when God commandeth the clouds to go over the 
whole world, *= they do as they are bidden. 

63 And the fire sent from above to consume hills and woods 
doeth as it is commanded : but these are like unto them nei- 
ther in shew nor power. 

64 Wherefore it is neither to be supposed nor said that they 

are gods, seeing '' they are able neither to judge causes, nor to j verse m. 
do good unto men. 

65 Knowing therefore that they are no gods, fear them not. 

66 For they can neither curse nor bless kings : t k m 

67 Neither can they shew •= signs in the heavens among the n." ® * 
heathen, nor shine a>s the sun, nor give light as the moon. 

68 The beasts are better than they : lor they can get under 
a covert, and help themselves. 

69 It is then by no means manifest unto us that they are gods : 
' therefuie fear them not. 

70 For as a scarecrow in a garden of cucumbers keepeth noth- jg^'esf ^ 
ing: soare their gods of wood, and laid over withsilverand gold. 

71 And likewise their gods of wood, and laid over with silver 
and gold, are like to a white thorn in an orchard, that every bird 
sitteth upon ; as also to a dead body that is cast into the dark, ff^ersesz. 

72 » And ye shall know them to be no gods by the |! bright n or, purpU 
purple that rottcth upon them : and they themselves afterward ^'J^"^^' brig>,t- 
shall be eaten, and shall be a reproach in the country. 

73 Better therefore is the just man ^ that hath none idols : '^'"03. 14, 
for he shall be far from reproach.

the holy city of our father.s, even Jerusalem, thou hnst executed 
true judgment : for according to truth and judgment didst tJiou 
bring all these things upon us because of our sins. 

6 Fen- we ^ have sinned and committed iniquity, departing 
from thee. 

7 In all things liave we trespassed, and not obeyed thy com- 
mandments, nor kept them, neiiiier done as thou hast command- 
ed us, that it might go well with us. 

8 Wlierefore all that thou hast brought upon us, and every 
thing (hat thou hast done to us, "= thou hast done in true judgment. 

y And thou uidst deliver us into the hands of lawless ' ene- 
mies, most hateful forsakers of God, and to an unjust king, and 
the most wicked in all the world. 

10 And now we cannot open our mouths, we are become a 
shame and reproach to thy servants, and to them' that worship 
thee. 

11 Yet deliver us not up wholly, for thy name's sake, ^ nei- 
ther disannul thou thy covenant : 

12 And cause not thy mercy to depart from us, for thy be- 
loved Abraham's sake, for thy servant Isaac's sake and for thy 
holy Israel's sake ; 

13 To whom thou hast spoken and promised, that thou 
wouldest multiply their seed *' as the stars of heaven, and as 
the sand tliat lieth upon the sea-shore. 

14 For we, O Lord, are become less than any nation, and 
be kept under this day in all the world because of our sins. 

1 5 Neitiier is there at this ime prince, or prophet, or leader, 
or burnt-offering, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place 
to sacrifice before thee, and to find mercy. 

16 Nevertlieless in a ' contrite heart and a humble spirit let 
us be accepted. 

17 Like as in the burnt-ofterings of rams and bullocks, and 
like as in ten thousands of fat lambs : so let our sacrifice be in 
thy sight this day, and grant that we may wholly go after thee : 
'■ for they shall not be confounded that put their trust in thee. 

18 And now we follow thee with all our heart, we fear thee, 
and seek thy face. 

19 Put us not to shame : but deal with us after thy loving- 
kindness, and according to the ' multitude of thy mercies. 

20 Deliver us also according to thy marvellous works, and 
give glory to thy name, O Lord : and let all them that do thy 
servants hurt be ashamed ; 

21 And let them be confounded || in all their power and 
might, and let their strength be broken ; 

22 And let them know that thou art Lord, the only God, and 
glorious '" over the whole world. 

23 And the kings's servants, that put them in, ceased not to 
niake the oven hot with || rosin, pitch, tow, and small wood ; 

24 So that the flame streamed for*h above the furnace forty 
and nine cubits. 

25 And it passed through, and " burned those Chaldeans it 
found about the furnace. 

26 But the angel of the Lord came down into the oven to- 
gether with Azarias and his fellows, and smote the flame of the 
fire out of the oven ; 

27 And made the midst of the furnace as it had been a || moist 
whistling wind, so that the fire touched them not at all, neither 
hurt nor troubled them. 

28 Then the three, as out of one mouth, praised, glorified, 
and blessed God in the furnace, saying, 

29 " Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers : and to be 
praised and exalted above all for ever. 

30 And f blessed is thy glorious and holy name : and to be 
praised and exalted above all for ever. 

3 i Blessed art thou in the '' temple of thy holy glory : and to 
be praised and glorified above all for ever. 

32 Bless€d art thou that beholdest the depths, and ■■ sittest up- 
on the cherubims : and to be praised and exalted above all for 
ever. 

33 Blessed art thou on the glorious throne of thy kingdom : 
and to be praised and glorified above all for ever. 

34 Blessed art thou in the • firmament of heaven an 1 above. 
all to be praised and glorified for ever.

TwojuJffes hide themselves in tlie garden of Susanna to have their ))leasiire oflier: ; 
whicli when they could not oI)tai]i," tbey accuse, and cause her to be cnndenined for ^ 
adultery, but Daniel examii!eth the matter araln, and findelh the two judges false. ! 

THERE dwelt a man in Babylon, called Joacim •• ! 

2 And he look a wife, whose name was Susanna, the \ 
daughter of Chelcias, a " very fair woman, and one that feared ; 
the Lord. . ! 

3 Her '' parents also were righteous, and taught their daugh- ; 
ter according to the law of Moses. ; 

4 Now Joacim was a great rich man, and had a fair garden ; 
joining unto his house : and to iiim resorted the Jews ; because ! 
he was more honourable tiian all others. | 

5 The same year were appointed two of "the ancients of the ; 
people to be judges, such as the Lord spake of, that wickedness 1 
came from Babylon from ancient judges, who seemed to govern ■ 
the people. ; 

6 Tliese kept much at Joacim's house : and all that had any 1 
suits in law came unto them. ; 

7 Now when the people departed away at noon, Susanna went 1 
into her husband's garden to walk. | 

8 And the two elders saw her going in every day, and walk- ; 
ing ; ''so that their hist was inflamed toward her. 1 

9 And they pfn'verted their own mind, and turned away their j 
eyes, that tliey might not look unto heaven, nor remember just \ 
judgments. ! 

10 And albeit they both were wounded with her love, yet ; 
durst not one shew another his grief. ! 

1 1 For they were ashamed to declare their lust, that they de- < 
sired to have to do with her. ; 

12 Yet they watched diligently from day to day to see her. ! 

1 3 Anri the one said to the other, Let us now go home : for ; 
it is dinner-time. ! 

14 So v/hen they were gone out, thej' parted the one from ! 
the other, and turning back again (hey came to the same place ; ; 
and after they had asked one another the cause, ^ they ac- ! 
knowledged their Must : then appointed tiiey a time both to- < 
gether, when they might find her alone. < 

15 And it fell out, as they watched a fit time, she went in < 
1 ds before with two maids only, and she was desirous to wash < 
herself in the garden : for it was hot. \ 

16 And there was no body there save the two elders, that had < 
hid themselves, and watched her. < 

17 Then she said to her maids, Bring me oil and washing-' 
balls, and shut the garden-doors, ^ that 1 may wash me. '< 

18 And they did as she bade them, and shut the garden- J 
doors, and went out themselves at || privy doors to fetch the \ 
things that she had commanded them : but they saw not the \ 
elders, •' because they were hid. \ 

19 Now when the maids w!;i~e gone forth, the two elders rose < 
up, and ran unto her, saying, \ 

20 Behold, the garden-doors are shut, that no man can see \ 
us, and we are in love with thee ; therefore consent unto us, j 
' and lie with us. 

21 If thou wilt not, we will bear witness against thee, that a 
young man was with thee : and therefore thou didst send away 
thy maids from thee. 

22 Then Susanna ^ sighed, and said, I am straitened on 
every side : for if I do this thing, it is death unto me : and if I 
do it not, I cannot escape your 'nands. 

23 It is better for me to fall into your hands, and not to do 
it, than ' to sin in the sight of the Lord. 

24 With that Susanna cried with a loud voice : and the two 
elders cried out against her 

25 Then ran the one, and opened the garden-door. 

26 So when the servants of the house heard the cry in the 
garden, they rushed in at " a privy door, to see what was done 
unto her. 

27 But when the elders had declared their matter, the ser- 
vants were greatly ashamed : for there never was such a report 
made of Susanna. 

28 And it came to pass the next day, when the people were 
assembled to herhusljand Joacim, the two elders came also full 
of " mischievous imagination against Susanna to put her to 
death ; 

29 And said before the people. Send for Susanna, the daugh- 
ter of Chelcias, Joacim's wife. And so they sent. 

30 So she came with her father and mother, her children, and 
all her kindred. 



3 1 Now Susanna was a very delicate woman, and ° beauteous 
to behold. 

32 And these wicked men commanded 1o uncover her /ace, 
[(oT she was covered) that they might be filled with her beauty. 

33 Therefore her friends and all that saw her wept. 

34 Then the two elders stood up in the midst of the people, 
p and laid their hands upon her head. 

35 And she weeping looked up toward heaven : for Her heart 
trusted in the Lord. 

36 And the elders said. As we walked in the garden alone, 
this woman came in with two maids, and shut the garden-doors, 
and sent the maids away. 

37 Then a young man, who there was hid, came unto her, 
and lay with her. 

38 Then we that stood in a corner of the garden, seeing 
'^ this wickedness, ran unto them. 

39 And when we saw them together, the man we could not 
hold : for he was stronger tiian we, and opened the dtior, and 
leaped out. 

40 But having taken this woman, we asked who the young 
man was, but slie would not tell us : '' these things do we testify. 

41 Then the assembly believed them, as those that were the 
elders and judges of the people: so they condemned her to 
death. 

42 Then Susanna ' cried out with a loud voice, and said, O 
everlasting God, that knowest the secrets, and knowest all 
things before they be : 

43 Thou knowest that they have borne false witness against 
me, and behold, I must die ; whereas I never did such thingj 
as these men have maliciously invented against me. 

44 And the ' Lord heard her voice. 

45 Therefore when she was led to be put to death, the Lord 
raised up the holy spirit of a young youth, whose name was 
Daniel : 

46 Who cried with a loud voice, " I am clear from the blood 
of this w<)man. 

47 Then all tlie people turned them toward him, and said, 
What mean tiiese words that thou hast spoken ? 

48 So he standing in the midst of them, said. Are ye such 
" fools, ye sons of Israel, that without examinatitm or knowl- 
edge of the truth, ye have condemned a daughter of Israel ? 

49 Beturn again to the place of judgment : for they have 
^ borne false witness against her. 

50 Wherefore all the people turned again in haste, and the 
elders said unto him, Come, sit down among us, and shew it 
us, seeing God hath given thee the honour of an elder. 

51 Then said Daniel unto them, Put these two aside one far 
from another, ^ and I will examine them. 

52 So when they were put asunder one from another, he 
called one of tiiem, and said unto him, O thou that art waxen 
old in wickedness, now thy sins which thou hast committed 
atbretime are come to light. 

53 For tliou hast pronounced false judgment, and hast con- 
demned the innocent, and hast let the guilty go free ; albeit the 
Lord saith, " The innocent and righteous shalt thou not slay. 

54 Now then, if thou hast seen her, tell me, Under what tree 
sawest thou them companying together ? Who answered. Un- 
der a f mastick-tree. 

55 And Daniel said. Very well; ''thou hast lied against 
thin° own head ; for even now the angel of God hath received 
the sentence of God to cut thee in two. 

56 So he put him aside, and commanded to bring the other, 
and said unto him, O thou seed of Chanaan, and not of Juda, 
beauty hath deceived thee, and " lust hath perverted thy heart. 

57 Thus have ye dealt with the daughters of Israel, and they 
for fear companies with you : but the daughter of Juda would 
not abide your wickedness. 

58 Now therefore tell me, Under what tree didst thou take 
them companying together ? Who answered, '' Under a || holm- 
tree. 

59 Then said Daniel unto him. Well ; thou hast also lied 
against thine own head : for the angel of God waiteth with the 
sword to cut thee in two, that he may destroy you. 

60 With that all the assembly = cried out with a loud voice, 
and praised God, who saveth them that trust in him. 

61 And they arose against the two elders, for Daniel had 
convicted them of talse witness by their own mouth ;

AND king Astyages was gfithered to his fathers, and ^ Cyrus : 
of Persia received his king'lop". ; 

2 And Daniel || conveised with tiie king, and was honoured j 
above all his friends. ; 

3 Now the Babylonians had an idol, called Bel, and there 
were spent upon him every day twelve measures of fine flour, ■ 
and forty sheep, and six vessels of wine. 

4 And the king worshipped it, and went daily to adore it : 
■' but Daniel worsiiipped his own God. And the king said unto 
hin), Why dost not thou worsiiip Bel ? 

5 Who answered and said, Because I may not worship idols 
made with hands, but the living God, " who hath created the 
heaven and the earth, and liath sovereignty over all flesh. 1 

6 Tlien said tlie king unto him, Thinkest thou not that Bel ] 
is a living god ? seest thou not how much he eateth and drink- ; 
eth every clay ? | 

7 Then Daniel smiled, and said, O king, be not deceived : ; 
for this is but clay within, and brass without, and did never '^ eat ; 
or drink an3' thing. ] 

8 So the king was wroth, and called for his priests, and said ; 
unto them, If j'e tell me not who this is that devoureth "^ these < 
expenses, ye shall die. I 

9 But if ye can certify me that Bel devoureth them, then ! 
Daniel shall die: for he hath spoken blasphemy against Bel. ! 
And Daniel said unto the king. Let it be according to thy word. ; 

10 Now the priests of Bel were threescore and ten, besides 1 
their wives and children. And the king went with Daniel into | 
the temple of Bel. ! 

11 So Bel's priests said, Lo, we go out : but thou, O king, ! 
set on the meat, and make ready the wine, and shut the door ; 
fast, and ' seal it with tliine own signet : ! 

12 And to-moiTow when thou coraest in, if thou findest not J 
that Bel hath eaten up all, we will suffer death ; or else Daniel, ; 
that speaketh falsely against us. 

13 And they little regarded it : ^ for under the table they had 
made a privy entrance, wherebj' they entered in continually, ; 
and consiHDed those things. [ 

14 Sowhen they were goneforthjthekingset meats before Bel. j 
Now Daniel had connnanded his servants to bring ashes, and ! 
those they strewed throughout all the temple in the presence of; 
the king alone : then went they out, and shut the door, and j 
sealed it with the king's signet, and so departed. ; 

15 Now in tiie night came the priests '■ with tiieir wives and ! 
children, as they were wont to do, and did eat and drink up all. j 

l6Intheniorningbetiinesthekingarose,and Daniel withhim. [ 

17 And the king said, Danie', are the ' seals whole .? And he < 
said. Yea, O king, they be whole. J 

18 And as soon as he had opened the door, the king looked j 
upon the table, and cried with a loud voice, ^ Great art thou, O ; 
Bel, and with thee is no deceit at all. 1 

19 Then laughed Daniel, and held the king that he should ; 
not go in, and said. Behold now the pavement, and mark welhj 
whose fjotsteps are these. ; 

20 And the king said, I see the footsteps ' of men, women, ; 
and children. And then the king was angry, J 



Bel into 
draaon. 



21 And took the priests with their wives and children, who 
shewed him the privy doors, n'here they came in, and consu- 
med sucn things as were upon the table. 

22 Therefore the king slew them, and delivered 
Daniel's power, '" who destroyed him and his temple 

23 II And in that same place there was a great 
which they of Babylon worshipped. 

24 And the king said unto Daniel, AVilt tiiou also say that this 
is of brass ? lo, he liveth, he eateth and drinkelh ; thou canst 
not say that he is no living god ; therefore worship him. 

25 Tlien said Daniel unto the king, " I will worship the 
Lord my God : for he is the living God. 

26 But give me leave, O king, and I shall slay this dragon 
without sword or staff. The king said, I give thee leave. 

27 Then Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and did seethe 
them together, and made lumps thereof: this he put in the 
dragon's mouth, and so the dragon burst in sunder : and Dan- 
iel said, 11 Lo, these are the gods ye worship. 

28 when they of Babylon heard that, p they took great in- 
dignation, and conspired against the king, saying, The king is 
become a Jew, and he hath destroyed Bel, he hath slain the 
dragon, and put the priests to death. 

29 So thej' came to the king, and said. Deliver us Daniel, or 
else we will destroy thee arid thy house. 

30 Now when the king saw tiiat they pressed him sore, being 
constrained, he ''delivered Daniel unto them : 

31 ' Who cast him into the lions' den : where he was six 
days. 

32 And in the den there v/ere seven lions, and they had giv- 
en them every day || two carcases, and two sheep : which then 
were not given to them, to the intent they might devour Daniel. 

33 Now there was in Jewry ' a prophet, called Plabbacuc, 
who liad II made pottage, and had broken bread in a bowl, and 
was going into the field, for to bring it to the reapers. 

34 But ' the angel of the Lord said unto Habbacuc, Go, carry 
the dinner that thou hast into Babylon unto Daniel, who is in 
the lions' den. 

35 And Habbacuc said. Lord, I never saw Babylon ; neither 
do I know where the den is. 

36 Then the angel of the Lord took him by the crown, and 
" bare him by the hair of his head, and through the vehemency 
of ills spirit set him in Babylon over the den. 

37 And Habbacuc cried, saying, O Daniel, Daniel, take the 
dinner " which God hath sent thee. 

38 And Daniel said. Thou hast remembered me, O God : 
y neither hast thou fors;iken them that seek thee and love thee. 

39 So Daniel arose, and did eat : and the angel of the Lord 
set Habbacuc in his own place again immediately. 

40 Upon the ^ seventh day the king went to bewail Daniel : 
and when he came to the den, he looked in, and behold, Daniel 
was sitting. 

41 Then cried the king with a loud voice, saying. Great art 
thou, O Lord God of Daniel, and there is none other besides 
thee. 

42 °- And he drew him out, and *■ cast those that were the 
cause of his destruction into the den : and they were devoured 
in a moment before his face.

OLORD, Almighty God of our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and of their righteous seed ; who hast made heaven 
and earth, with all the ornament thereof; who hast bound the sea by the word of thy commandment ; who hast shiJt up 
the deep, and sealed it by thy terrible and glorious name ; whom all men fear, and tremble before thy power ; for the majesty 
of thy glory cannot be borne, and thine angry threatening toward sinners is importable : but thy merciful promise is unnieasu- 
rable and unsearchable ; for thou art the most high Lord, of great compassion, long-suffering, very merciful, and repentest of the 
evils of men. Thou, O Lord, according to thy great goodness hast promised repentance and forgiveness to them that have 
sinned against thee : and of thine infinite mercies hast appointed repentance unto sinners, that they may be saved. Thou there

CHAPTER I. 

Antiochus gave leave to set up the I'asliions oC llie Gentiles in Jercisalem, ami spoiled it, 
and the temple in it, and setup therein tlie almmination uf desolation, and slew those 
that did cireunicisc their clukli'en. 

ND it happened, after that Alexander son of Philip, the 
Macedonian, who came out of the land of || C'hettiim, had 
smitten ' Darius king of the Persians and Medes, that he reign- 
ed in his stead, the first over Greece, 

2 Ant! made many wars, and won many strong holds, and 
slew the kings ol'llie earth, 

3 ^' And went through to the ends of the earth, and took spoils 
of many nations, insomuch that the earth was quiet before him ; 
whereupon || he was exalted, and his heart was lifted up. 

4 And he gathered a mighty strong host, and ruled over coun- 
tries, and nations, and || kings, who became tributaries unto him. 

5 And after these things he fell sick, and perceived t that lie 
should die. 

6 Wherefore he called his servants, such as were honourable, 
and had been brought up with him from his youth, and parted 
his kingdom among them, while he was yet alive. 

7 So Alexamler reigned twelve years, and t/u^n died. 

8 And Ills servants bare rule every one in his place. 

9 And after his death they all put '^ crowns upon themselves ; 
so did their sons after them many years : and evils were mul- 
tiplied in the earth. 

10 And there came out of them ** a wicked root, Antiochus 
siirnamed Epiphanes, son of Antiochus the king, who had been 
a hostage at Rome, and he reigned in the hundred and thirty 
and seventh year of the kingdom oftiie Greeks. 

11 In those days went there out of Israel wicked men, " who 
persuaded many, saying, Let us go and make a covenant with 
the heathen that are round about us ; for since we departed from 
them, t we have had nmch sorrow. 

12 So tliis device pleased them well. 

13 Then certain of the people were so forward herein, that 
thej' went to the king, ' who gave them license to do after the 
ordinances of the heathen : 

14 VV^hereupon they || built a place of exercise at Jerusalem 
according to the customs of the heathen : 

] 5 And *■' made themselves unci;'cumcised, and forsook the 
holy covenant, and joined themselves to the heathen, and 
•■ were sold to do mischief. 

16 Now when the kingdom was established before Anti- 
ochus, he thought to reign over Egypt, that he might have the 
dominion of two realms. 

17 Wherelbre ' he entered into Egypt with a great multitude, 
with chariots, and elephants, and horsemen, and a great navy, 

18 And made war against Ptolemee king of Egypt : but 
Ptolemee was afraid of him, and fled ; and many were woun- 
ded to deatii. 

19 Thus they got the strong cities in the land of Egypt, and 
he took the spoils thereof. 

20 And after that Antiochus had smitten Egypt, he returned 
again in the hundred forty and third year, '' and went up against 
Israel and Jerusalem with a great multitude, 

21 And ' entered proudly into the sanctuary, and took away 
the golden altar, and the candlestick of light, and all the vessels 
thereof. 

22 And the table of the shew-bread, and the pouring vessels, 
and the vials, and the censers of gold, and the vail, and the 
crowns, and the golden ornaments that were before the temple, 
II all which he pulled off. 

23' He took also the silver and the gold, and the t precious 
vessels : also he took the hidden treasures which he found. 
24 And when he iiad taken all away, he went into his own 



j land, having made a great massacre, and spoke very proudly. 

; 25 Tlieiefore there was '" great mourning in Israel, in every 

; place where they were ; 

I 26 So " that the princes and elders mourned, the virgins and 

; young men were made feeble, and the beauty of women was 

I changed. 

; 27 Every bridegroom took up lamentation, and she that sat 

; in the marriage-chamber was in heaviness. 

I 28 The land also was moved for the inhabitants thereof, and 

; all the house of Jacob was covered with ' confusion. 

I 29 And after two years fully expired, the king sent his chief 

; collector of tribute unto the cities of Juda, who came unto Je- 

; rusalem with a great imdtitude ; 

I 30 And spake peaceable words unto them, but all ivas ? de- 

: ceit : for when they had given him credence, he fell suddenly 

; upon the city, and smote it very sore, and destroyed much 

I people of Israel. 

; 31 And when he had taken the spoils of the city, "i he set it on 

i fire, and pulled down the houses and walls thereof on every side. 

; 32 But the women and children took they captive, and pos- 

; sessed the cattle. 

I 33 Then biiilded they the city of David with a great and 

j strong wall, and v/ith mighty towers, and made it a strong hold 

; for tliein. 

I 34 And they put therein a ' sinful nation, wicked men, and 

; fortified themselves therein. 

1 35 They stored it also with armour and victuals, and when 

I they had gathered together the spoils of Jerusalem, they laid 

1 them up there, and so tliey became a sore snare : 

I 36 Eor it was a place to lie in wait against the ' sanctuary, 

; and an evil adversary to Israel. 

I 37 Thus they shed innocent blood on every side of the sanc- 

\ tuary, and defiled it : 

i 3S Insomuch that the inhabitants of Jerusalem fled because 

1 of them : whereupon the eity was made a habitiition of strangers, 

; and became strange to those that were born in her ; and her 

; own children lelt her. 

> 39 ' Her sanctuary vv'as laid waste like a wilderness, her feasts 
I were turned into mourning, her sabbaths into reproach, her 
1 honour into contempt. 

; 40 As had been her glory, so was lier dishonour increased, 

; and her excellency was turned into mourning. 

1 41 Moreover king Antiochus wrote to his whole kingdom, 

; " that all should be one people, 

! 42 And every one should leave his laws : so all the heathen 

> agreed according to the commandment of the king. 

43 Yea, ' many also of the Israelites consented to his re- 
1 iigion, and sacrificed unto idols, and profaned the sabbath. 

44 For the king had sent letters by messengers unto Jerusa- 
lem and the cities of Juda, that they should follow |j the strange 

; laws of the laml, 

45 And forbid burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and drink-of- 
ferings, in the temple ; and that they should profane the sab- 
baths and festival days : 

46 And pollute the sanctuary and y holy peopft : 

47 Set up altars, and groves, and chapels of idols, and sacri- 
, fice swine's llesh, and unclean beasts : 

1 48 That they should also leave ^ their children unclrcuin 
I cised, and make their souls abominable with all manner of un- 
! cleanness and profanation : 

1 49 To the end they might forget the law, and change all the 
: ordinances. 

50 And whosoever would not do according to the command- 
ment of the king, he said, he should die.

Apocnjplid. 

Before 51 In the self-same manner wrote he to his whole kingdom, J 
CHRIST and appointed overseers over all the people, commanding- the \ 
^j;;;:^!^ cities of Juda to sacrifice, "^ city by city. \ 

aSeeDeut 52 Then many of the people were gathered unto them, to | 
'2>6 wh, every one that forsook the law ; and so they committed i 

evils in the land ; i 

53 II And drove the Israelites into secret places, even where- < 
soever they could fJ°e for succour. \ 

54 Now the fifteenth day of the month Casleu, in the hun- > 
dred forty and fifth year, '' they set up the abomination of des- \ 
olation upon the altar, and builded idol-altars throughout the 
cities of Juda on every side ; 

55 And burnt incense at the doors of their houses, and in the 
streets. 

56 And when they had rent in pieces the books of the law 
which they found, they burnt them with fire. 

57 And wheresoever was found with any the book of the 
testament, or if any consented to the law, t the king's com- 
mandment was, that they should put him to death. 

58 Thus did they by their autliority unto the Israelites every 
month, to as manj' as were found in the cities. 

59 Now the five and twentieth day of the month they did 
sacrifice upon the idol-altar, which was upon the altar of God. 

60 At which time according to the ccmn;andment they put 
to death certain women, t that had caused their children to be 
circumcised. 

61 And they hanged the infants about their necks, and rifled 
their houses, and slew them that had circumcised them. 

62 Howbeit many in Israel were fully resolved and confirm- 
ed in themselves not to eat any unclean thing. 

63 Wherefore they chose rather to die, that they might not 
be defiled with meats, and that they might not profane the holy 
covenant : so then they died. 

64 And there was very great wrath upon Israel.

20 Yet Will 1 ' and my sons and toy brethren walk in the 
covenant of our fathers. 

21 God forbid that we should forsake s the law and the or- 
dinances. 

22 We will not hearken to the king's words, to go from our 
religion, either on the right hand, or the left. 

23 Now when he had left speaking these words-, there came 
one of the Jews in the sight of all to sacrifice on the altar which 
was at Modiii, according to the king's commandment. 

24 Which thing when Mattathias saw, he was '' inflamed 
with zeal, and his reins trembled, nehher could he forbear to 
shew his anger according to judgment : wherefore he ran, ' and 
slew him upon the altar. 

25 Also the king's commissioner, who compelled men to sa- 
crifice, he killed at that time, and the altar he pulled down. 

26 Thus dealt he zealously for tlie law of God, like as ^ Phi- 
nees did unto Zambri the son of Salom. 

27 And Mattathias cried throughout the city with a loud 
voice, saying. Whosoever is zealous of the law, and maintain- 
eth the covenant, let him follow me. 

28 So he and his sons fled into ' the mountains, and left all , Heb. if 
that ever they had in the city. 38. 

29 Then many that sought after justice and judgment went 
down into the wilderness, to td^vell there : 

30 Both they, and their children, and their wives, and their 
cattle :• because t afflictions increased sore upon them. 

31 Now when it was told the king's servants, and '" the host 
that wyjs at Jerusalem, in the city of David, that certain men, 
who had broken the king's commandment, were gone down 
into the secret places in the wilderness, 

32 They pursued after them r great number, and having 
overtaken them, tliej' camped against them, and made war 
against them on the sabbath-day. 

33 And they said unto them. Let that which ye have done 
hitherto suffice ; come forth, and do according to the com- 
mandment of the king, and ye shall live. 

34 But they said, " We will not come forth, neither will we 
do the king's commandment, to profane the sabbath-day. 

35 So tiien they gave || them the battle with all speed. 

36 Howbeit they answered them not, neither cast they a stone 
at them, nor stopped the places where they lay hid : 

37 But said, Let us die all in our t innocency : heaven and 
earth shall testify for us, that ye put us to death wrongfully. 

38 So they rose up against them in battle on the sabbath,

9 '' Her glorious vessels are carried away into captivity, her

10 What nation hath not had a part in her kingdom, and 
gotten of her spoils ? 

1 1 All iier ornaments are taken away ; of a free woman she

12 And behold, our || sanctuary, even our beauty and our

14 Then Mattathias and his sons ■= rent their clothes, and 
put on sackcloth, and mourned very sore. 

1 5 In the m°an while the king's '^ officers, such as compelled the 
people to revolt, came intothe city Modin, to make them sacrifice. 

16 And when many of Israel came unto them, Mattathias 
also and his sons came togetlier. 

17 Then answered the king's officers, and said to Mattathias 
on this wise. Thou art a ruler, and an honourable and great 
man in this city, and strengthened whh sons and brethren : 

1 8 Now therefore come thou first, andl'ulfilthe king's command- 
ment, like as all the heathen have done, yea, and the men of Juda 
also,and such as remain at Jerusalem : so shalt thou and thy house 
be in the number of the king's friends, and thou and thy chil- 
dren shall be honoured with silver and gold, and many rewards. 
19 Then Mattathias answered and spake with "^ a loud voice. 
Though all the nations that are under the king's dominion 
obey him, and fall away every one from the religion of their 
fathers, and give consent to his commandments •

54 Then sounded they with trumpets, and cried with a loud 
voice. 

55 And after this Judas ordained captains over the people, 
even captains over thousands, and over hundreds, and over fif 
ties, and over tens. 

56 But as for such as '' were building houses, or had betrothed 
wives, or were planting vineyards, or " were fearful, those he 
commanded that they should return, every man to his own 

Juiig.7, 3 lioust^j according to the law. 

57 So the camp removed, and pitched upon the south side of 
■^ Emmaus. 

58 And Judas said, Arm j'ourselves, and be valiant men, 
and see that ye be in readiness against the morning, that ye 
may fight with these nations, that are assembled together against 
us to destroy us and our sanctuary : 

59 "= For it is better for us to die in battle, than to behold the 
calamities of our people and our sanctuary. 

60 Nevertheless, ' as the will of God is in heaven, so let him do. 
CHAPTER IV. 

6 Judas defe.itcth the plot, nnd forces of Gorgias, and spoileth tlicir tents, and oveiilirow- 

etli Lysias IS He pulleth down the altar which the heathen had profaned, and ict- 

teth up a new one ; and maketli a wall about Sinn. 

THEN took ' Gorgias five thousand footmen, and a thousand 
of the best horsemen. and removed out of tiie camp bynight: 

2 To the end he might rush in upon the camp of the Jews, 
and smite them suddenly. And the men of tlie fortress were 
his guides. 

3 Now when Judas Iieard thereof, he himself removed, and 
the valiant men with hiin, that he miglu smite the king's army 
which was at '' Emmaus, 

4 While as yet the forces were dispersed from the camp. 

5 In the mean season came Gorgias by night into the camp 
of Judas : and when lie found no man there, he sought them 
" in the mountains : for, said he. These fellows flee from us. 

6 But as soon as it was day, Judas shewed himself in the 
plain with three thousand men, who nevertheless had neither 
II armour nor swords to tiieir minds. 

7 And they saw the camp of the heathen, that it was strong 
and well harnessed, and compassed round about with horse- 
men ; and these were expert of war. 

8 riicn said Judas to the men tiiat were witli Kim, Fear ye 
not their multitude, neitlier be ye afraid of tlieir assault. 

9 Remember huw our fathers were delivered in the Red Sea, 
when Pharaoli pursued them with an army. 

10 Now therefore let us cry unto heaven, if peradventure the 
Lord will have mercy upon us, and remember the covenant of 
our fathers, and destroy this host before our face this day 

11 That so all the heatlien may know that there is one who 
delivereth and saveth Israel. 

12 Then the strangers lifted up their eyes, and saw them 
coming over against them. 

13 Wiierefore they went out of the camp to battle ; but they 
that were with Judas smmded tlicir trumpets. 

14 So they joined battle, and the heatlien being discomfited 
fled into the plain. I 

15 Howbeit all the hindmost of them were slain with the |

CHAPTER IV. ApocrijvU. 

17 And said fo the people, Be not greedy of the spoils, inas- 
much as there is a battle before us, 
i 1 8 And Gorgias and his host are here by us in the mountain : 
i but stand ye now against our enemies, and overcome them, 
5 and after this j^e may boldly take the spoils. 

< 19 As Judas was yet speaking these words, there appeared 
I a part of them looking out of the mountain : 
5 20 Who when they perceived that the Jews had put their 
^ host to flight, and were burning the tents ; for the smoke tliat 
i was seen dc'lared what was done : 

? 21 When therefore they perceived these things, they were 
l sore afraid, and seeing also thehost of Judasin the plain ready 

to fight, 

22 They fled every one into the land of strangers. 

23 Then Judas returned to spoil the tents, where they got 
much gold, and silver, and blue silk, and purple of the sea, and 
great riclies. 

24 After this they went home, and sung a song of thanks- 
l giving, and praised the Lord in heaven : because it is good, 
5 because his mercy cnduretli for ever. 
\ 25 Thus Israel had a great deliverance that daj'. 
t 26 Now all the strangers that had escaped came and told 
\ Lysias what had happened : 

I\ 27 Who, when he heard thereof, was confounded and dis- 
\ couraged, because neither such tilings as he would were done 
5 unto Israel, nor such things as the king commanded him were 
' come to pass. 
28 The next year therefore following, Lysias gathered to- 
gether threescore thousand choice men of foot, and five thou- 
sand horsemen, that he might subdue them. 
29 So they came into Idumca, and pitched their tents at 
Bethsura, and Judas met them with ten thousand men. 
30 xVnd when he saw that mighty army, he prayed, and said, 
i Blessed art thei, O Saviour of Israel, ^ who didst quell the vio- 
\ lence of the mighty man by the hand of thy servant David, and 
s gavest the host of || strangers into the hands of ■= Jonathan the 
I son of Saul, and his armour-bearer ; 

\ 31 Shut up this army in the hand of thy people Israel, and 
let them be confounded in their power and horsemen : 

32 Make them to be of no courage, and cause the boldness iGr. m«it. 
of their strength to t fall away, and let them quake at their 
destruction : 

33 (^ast tliem down with the sword of them that love thee, 
and let all those that know thy name praise thee with tiianks- 
giving. 

34 So they joined battle ; and there were slain of the host of 
Lysias about five thousand men,even before fiiem were they slain. 

S3 Now when Lysias saw his army put to flight, and the 
manliness of Judas' soldiers, and how they were ready either 
to live or die valiantly, he v/ent into Antiochia, and gathered 
together a company of strangers, and having made bis army 
greater than it was, he purposed to come again into Judea. 

36 Then said Judas and his brethren. Behold, our enemies 
are discomfited : let us go up to cleanse ;md || dedicate the 
sanctuary. 

37 Upon this all the host assembled themselves together, and 
went up into mount Sioii. 

38 And when they saw the sanctuary desolate, and the altar 
profaned, and the gates burned up, and shrubs growing in the 
courts as in a forest, or in one of the mountains, yea, and tho 
priests' chambers pulled down ; 

59 Tiiey rent their clothes, and made great lamentation, and 
cast ashes upon their heads, 

40 And fell down flat to the ground upon their faces, and 
blew an alarm with tlie trumpets, and cried toward heaven. 

11 Then Judas appointed certain men to fight against those 
that were in the fortress, until he had cleansed the sanctuary. 

42 So he chose priests of blameless conversation, such as had 
pleasure in the law : 

43 Who cleansed the sanctuary, and bare out the defiled 
stones unto an unclean place. 

44 And when as they consulted what to do with the altar of 
5 burnt-offerings, wliicli was profaned ; 

< 45 They thought it best to pull it down, lest it should be a 
\ reproach to them, because the heathen had defiled it : where- 
fore they pulled it down, 

a6 And laid up the stones in the mountain ol ttie temple in

25 The exploits of Judas in Galaad : iiedestroyeth Ephron for denying him to pass 
Ihrougli it SO Divers, that in Judas' absence would fight with their enemies, are slain. 

NOW when the nations round about heard that the altar was 
built, and the sanctuary renewed as before, it displeased 
them very much. 

2 Wherefore they thought to destroy the generation of Jacob 
tlwt was among them, and thereupon they began to slay and 
destroy the people. 

3 Then Judas fought against the children of Esau in Idumea 
at !! Arabattine, because they besieged Israel : and he gave 
them a great overthrow, and abated their courage, and took 
their spoils. 

4 Also he remembered the || injury of the children of || Bean, 
who had been a snare and an offence unto the people, in that 
they lay in wait for them in the ways. 

5 He shut them up therefore in the towers, and encamped 
against them, and destroyed them utterly, and burned the tow- 
ers of that place with fire, and all that were therein. 

6 Afterward he passed over to the children of Amnion, where 
he found a mighty power, and much people, with Timotheus 
their captain. 

7 So he fought many battles with them, till at length they 
were discomfited befwe him ; and he smote them. 

8 And when he had taken Jazar, with the towns belonging 
thereto, he returned into Judea. 

9 Then the heathen that were at Galaad assembled them- 
selves together against the Israelites that were in their quarters, 
to desti-oy them, but they fled to the fortress of Dathema, 

10 And sent letters unto Judas and his brethren, The heathen 
that are round about us are assembled together against us to 
destroy us : 

1 1 And they are preparing to come and take the fortress 
whereunto we are fled, Timotheus being captain of their host. 

12 Coiiie now therefore, and deliver us from their hands, for 
many of us are slain : 

13 Yea, all our brethren that were in the places of Tobie aie 
put to death : their wives and their children also they have car- 
ried away captives, andborneaway their stuff; and they have 
destroyed there about a thousand men. 

14 While these letters were vet reading, behold there came 



country of Galaad, and that against to-morrow || they had ap' 
pointed to bring their hosts against the forts, and to take them, 
and to destroy them all in one day. 

28 Hereupon Judas and his host turned suddenly bj' the way 
of the wilderness unto || Bosora; and wlwn he had won the 
citj-, he slew all the males with the edge of the sword, and took 
all their spoils, and burned the city with fire. 

29 From whence he removed by night, and went till he 
came to the fortress. 

30 And betimes in the morning they t looked up, and be- 
hold, tliere was an innumerable peoplebearing ladders and other 
engines of war, to take the fortress : for || they assaulted them. 

31 When Judas therefore saw that the battle was begun, and 
that the cry of the city went up to heaven, with trumpets, and 
a great sound, 

32 He s;Jd unto his host, Fight this day for your brethren. 

33 So he went forth behind them in three companies, who 
sounded their trumpets, and cried with prayer. 

34 Then the host of Timotheus, knowing that it was Mac- 
cabeus, fled from him : wherefore he smote them with a great 
slaughter ; so that there were killed of them that day about eight 
thousand men. 

35 This done, Judas turned aside to Maspha ; and after he 
had assaulted it, he took it, and slew all the males therein, and 
received the spoils thereof, and burnt it with fire. 

36 From thence went he, and took Casphon, Maged, Bosor, 
and the other cities of the country of Galaad. 

3J After these things gathered Timotheus another host, and 
encamped against Raphon beyond the brook. 

38 So Judas sent men to spy the host, who brought him word, 
saying. All the heathen that be round about us are assembled 
unto them, even a very great host. 

39 He hath also hired the Arabians to help them, and they 
have pitched their tents be\^ond the brook, readj' to come and 
fight against thee. Upon this Judas went to meet them. 

40 Then Timotheus said unto the captains of his host, AVhen 
Judas and his host come near the brook, if he pass over first 
unto us, we shall not be able to withstand him ; for '^e will 
mightily prevail against us : 

41 But if he be afraid, and camp beyond the river, we shall 
go over unto him, and prevail against him.

45 Then Judas gathered together all the Israelites that were j thence with great heaviness, and returned to Babyl 
the country of Galaa'l, from the least unto the greatest, even i f) Moreover there came one who brought liim t 



on. 
tidings 



into 



their wives, and their children, and their stuff, a very great host, 
to the end they might come into the land of Judea. 

46 Now when they came unto Ephron, (this was a great city 
in the way as they should go, very well fortified) they could not 
turn from it, either on the right hand or the left, but must needs 
pass through the midst of it. 

47 Then they of the city shut them out, and stopped up the 
gates with stones. 

48 Whereupon Judas sent unto them in peaceable manner, 
saying, Let us pass through your land to go into our own coun- 
try, and none shall do you any hurt ; we will only pass 
through on foot : howbeit they would not open 'into him. 

49 Wherefore Judas commanded a proclamation to be made 
throughout the host, that every man should pitch his tent in the 
place where he was. 

50 So the soldiers pitched, and assaulted the city all that day 
and all that night,till at length the city was deli vered into his hands: 

51 Who then slew all the males with the edge of the sword, 
and raised the city, and took the spoils thereof, and passed 
through the city over them that were slain. 

52 After this went they over Jordan into the great plain 
before Betlisan. 

53 And Judas gathered together those that || came behind, 
and II exhorted the people all the way through, till they came : 
into the land of Judea. 

54 So they went up to mount Sion witii joy and gladness, 
where they offered || burnt-offerings, because not one of them 
were slain until they had returned in peace. 

55 Now wliat time as Judas and Jonathan were in the laiid 
of Galaad, and Simon his brother in Galilee before Ptolemais, 

56 Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, captains of the 
garrisons, heard of the valiant acts and warlike deeds which 
they had done. 

57 Wiierefore they said, Let us also get us a name, and go 
fight against the heathen that are round about us. 

58 So when they had given charge unto the garrison that 
was with them, they went toward Jamnia. 

59 Then came Gorgias and his men out of the city t to fight 
against them. 

60 And so it was, that Joseph and Azarias were put to flight. 



Persia, that the armies, which went against the land of Judea, 
were put to flight : 

6 And that Lysias, wlio went forth first with a great power, 
was driven away of the Jews ; and that they were made strong 
by the armour, and power, and store c f spoils, which they had 
gotten of the armies, whom tliey had destroyed : 

7 Also that they had pulled down the abomination, which he 
had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that tliey had com- 
passed about the sanctuary with high walls, as before, and his 
city Bethsura. 

8 Now when the king heard these words, he was astonished 
and sore moved : whereupon he laid him down upon his bed, 
and fell sick for grief, because it had not befallen him as he 
looked for. 

9 And there he continued many days : for his grief was ever 
more and more, and he made account that he should die. 

10 Wherelore he called for all his friends, and said unto them, 
The sleep is gone from mine eyes, and my heart faileth for 
very care. 

11 And I thought with myself. Into what tribulation am I 
come, and how great a flood of misery is it, wherein now I am! 
for I was bountiful and beloved in my jiower. 

12 But now I remember the evils that I did at Jerusalem, 
and that I took all the vessels of gold and silver that were therein, 
and sent to destroy the inhabitants of Judea without a cause. 

13 1 perceive therefore that for tliis cause these troubles are 
come upon me, and behold, I perish through great grief in a 
strange land. 

14 Then called he for Philip, one of his friends, whom he 
made ruler over all his realm, 

15 And gave him the crown, and his robe, and his signet, to 
the end |j he should bring up his son Antiochus, and nourish 
him up for the kingdom, 

IG So king Antiochus died there in the hundred forty and 'uochusto 
ninth year. *""• 

17 Now when Lysias knew that the king was dead, he set up 
Antiochus his son, whom he had brought up, being young, to 
reign in his stead, and his name he called Eupator. 

18 About this time they that were in the tower shut up the 
Israelites round about the sanctuary, and sought always their

that daj^ of the people of Israel about two thousand men 

61 Thus was there a great overthrow among t,.te ciiildren of 
Israel, because they were not obedient unto Judas and his breth- 
ren, but thought to do some valiant act. 

62 Moreover these men came not of tht seed of those, by 
whose hand deliverance was given unto Israul. 

63 Howbeit the man Judas and his brethren were greatly re- 
nowned in the sight of all Israel, and of all the heathen, where- 
soever their name was heard of; 

64 Insomuch as the people assembled unto them with joyful 
acclamations. 

65 Afterward went Judas forth with his brethren, and fought 
against the children of Esau in the land toward the south, where 
he smote Hebron, and the t towns thereof, and pulled down the 
fortress of it, and burned the towers thereof round about. 

GG From thence he removed to go into the land oft the Phi- 
listines, and passed through Samaria. 

67 At that time certain priests, desirous to shew their valour, 
were slain in battle, for that they went out tofight unadvisedly. 

6S So Judas turned to Azotus in the land of the Philistines, 
and when he had pulled down their altars, and burned their 
carved images with fire, and spoiled their cities, he returned 
into the land of Judea.

BOUT that time king Antiochus travelling through thr 



high countries heard say, that Elymais in the country of ^ elephants exercised in battle, 



19 Wherefore Judas, purposing to destroy them, called all 
the people together to besiege them. 

20 So tliey came together, and besieged them in tiie hundred 
and fiftieth year, and he made mounts for shot against them, 
and otlier engines. 

21 Howbeit, certain ofthemthat were besieged got forth, unto 
whom some ungodly men of Israel joined themselves : 

22 And they went unto the king, and said. How long will 
it be ere thou execute judgment, and avenge our brethjen ? 

23 We have been willing to serve thy father, and to do as he 
would have us, and to obey his commandments ; 

24 For which cause they of our nation besiege the tower, and 
are alienated from us: moreover, as many of us as they could 
light on they slew, and spoiled our inheritance. 

25 Neither have they stretched out their hand against us only, 
but also against all their borders. 

26 And behold, this day are they besieging the tower at Je- 
rusalem, to take it : the sanctuary also and Bethsura have they 
fortified. 

27 Wherefore,if thou dost not prevent them quickly, they wil. 
do greater thingsthan these, neither shalt thou be ableto rule them. 

28 Now when the king heard this, he was angry, and gath- 
ered together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and 
those that had charge of the horse. 

29 There came also unto him from other kingdoms, and from 
isles of the sea, bands of hired soldiers. 

3j0 So that the number of his army was a hundred thousand 
footmen, and twenty thousand horsemen, and two and thirty

whereupon they went out of the strong hold.

besides this, for every beast were ordained five hundred horse- \

S6 These were ready at every occasion : wheresoever the \

neither departed they from him. J 

37 And upon the beasts were there strong towers of wood, ^ 
which covered every one of them, and were'^girt fast unto them f 
with devices : there were also upon every one two and thirty \ 
strong men, that fought upon them, besides the Indian that ruled 5

IN the hundred and one and fiftieth year Demetrius the son of 
Seleucus departed from Rome, and came up with a few men 
unto II a city of the sea-coast, and reigned there. 

2 And as he entered into the t palace of his ancestors, so it m.'it. 
was, that his forces had taken Antiochus and Lysias, to bring '6 
them unto him. 

3 Wherefore, when he knew it, he said. Let me not see their 
faces. 

4 So his host slew them. Now when Demetrius was set upon 
the throne of his kingdom, 

5 There came unto him all the wicked and ungodly men 
of Israel, having Alcimus, who was desirous to be high priest, 
for their captain : 

6 And they accused the people to the king, saying, Judas 
and his brethren have slain all thy friends, and driven us out of 
our own land. 

7 Now therefore send some man whom thou trustest, and let 
him go and see what liavock he hath made among us, and in the 
king's land, and let him punish them with all them that aid them. 

8 Then the king chose Bacchides, a friend of the king, who 
ruled beyond the Hood, and was a great man in the kingdom, 
and faithful to the king. 

9 And him he sent with that wicked Alcimus, whom he 
made high priest, and commanded that he should take ven- 
geance of the children of Israel. 

10 So they departed, and came with a great power into the 
land of Judea, where they sent messengers to Judas and his 



midst of the battle, slaying on the right hand and on the left, I brethren with peaceable words deceitfully 



II so that they were divided from him on both sides. > 

46 Which done, he crept under the elephant, and thrust him j 

under, and slew him : whereupon the elephant fell down upon 5 

him, and there he died. ? 

_ 47 Howbeit, the rest of the Jews seeing the strength of the \ 

king, and the violence of his forces, turned away fi'om them. |

1 1 But they gave no heed to their words ; for they saw tiiai

53 Yf;t at the last, their vessels being without victuals, (for 
that it was the seventh year, and they in Judea that were de- 
livered from the Gentiles, had eaten up the residue of the store ;) 

54 There were but a fev/ left in the sanctuary, because the 
famine did so prevail against them, that they v/ere fain to dis- 
•>erse themselves, everj' man to his own place. 

55 At that time Lysias heard say, that Philip, whom Anti- 
ochus the king, while he lived, had appointed to bring up his 
son Antiochus, that he might be king, 

56 Was returned out of Persia and Aledia, and the king's host 
also that went with him, and that he sought to take unto him 
the ruling cf the afi'airs. 

bj Wherefore he went in all haste, and said to the king and 
the captains of the host and the company. We decay daily, and 
our victuals are but small, and the place we lay siege unto is 
strong, and the affairs of the kingdom lie upon us : 

58 Now therefore let us t be friends with these men, and make 
peace with them, and with ail their nation ; 



, 18 Wherefore the fear and dre.id of them fell upon all the 
J people, who said. There is neither truth nor t righteousness in ^ud^mattt 
\ them ; for they have broken the covenant and oath that they 
\ made. 

5 19 After this removed Bacchides from Jerusalem, and pitch- 
5 ed his tents in Bezeth, where he sent and took many of the men 
5 that had forsaken him, and certain of the people also, and when 
i he had slain them, he cast them into the great pit. 
\ 20 Then committed he the country to Alcimus, and left with 
5 him a power to aid him : so Bacchides went to the king.

35 And sv/are in his wrath, saying, Unless Judas and his

37 Thou, O Lord, didst choose this house to be called by 
thy name, and to be aliouse of prayer and petition for thy people: 

38 Be avenged of this man and his host, and let them fall by 
the sword : remember their blasphemies, and suffer them not 
to continue any longer. 

39 So Nicanor went out of Jerusalem, and pitched his tents 
in Beth-horon, where a host out of Syria met him. 

40 But Judas pitched in Adasa with three thousand men, and 
there he prayed, saying, 

41 '' Lord, when they that were sent from the king of the 
Assyrians blasphemed, thine angel went out, and smote a hun- 
dred fourscore and five thousand of them. 

42 Even so destroy thou this host before us this day, that the 
rest may know that he hath spoken blasphemously against thy 
sanctuary, and judge thou him according to his wickedness. 

43 So the thirteenth day of the month Adar the hosts joined 
battle : but Nicanor's host was discomfited, and he himself was 
first slain in the battle. 



44 Now when Nicanor's host saw that he was slain, they 
cast away their weapons, and fled.

48 For this cause the people rejoiced greatly, and they kept 
that day a day of great gladness. 

49 Moreovei, they ordained to keep yearly this day, being 
the thirteenth of Adar. 

50 Thus the land of Juda was in rest a little while.

NOW Judas had heard of the fame of the Romans, that they 
were mighty and valiant men, and such as would lovingly 
accept all that joined themselves unto them, and make a league 
of amity with all that came unto them ; 

2 And that they were men of great valour. It was told him 
also of their wars and noble acts which they had done among 
the II Galatians, and how theyhad conquered them, and brought 
them under tribute j

under their dominion all other kingdoms and isles that at any 
time resisted them ; 

12 But with their friends and such as relied upon them they 



and nigh, insomuch as all that heard of their name were afraid 
of them : 

13 Also that, whom they would help to a kingdom, those 
reign ; and whom again they would, they displace : finally, 
that they were greatly exalted : 

14 Yet for all this none of them wore a crown, or was cloth- 
ed in purple, to be magnified thereby : 

15 Moreover, how they had made for themselves a senate- 
house, wherein three hundred and twenty men sat in council 
daily, consulting always for the people, to the end they may be 
well ordered : 

16 And that they committed their government to one man 
5 every year, who ruled over all their country, and that all were 
I obedient to that one, and that there was neither envy nor emu- 
\ lation among them. 

i" In consideration of these things, Judas chose Eupolemiis 
the son of John, the son of Accos, and Jason the son of Elea- 
zar, and sent them to Rome, to make a league of amity and 
confederacy with them, 

1 8 And to entreat them that they would take the yoke from 
them ; for they saw that the kingdom of the Grecians did op- 



I there they might have by them a memorial of peace and con-

23 Good success be to the Romans, and to the people of the 
; Jews, by sea and by land for ever : the sv/ord also and enemy 

be far from them. 

24 If there come first any war upon the Romans or any ol

25 The people of the Jews shall help them, as the time shall 
be appointed, with all their heart : 

26 Neither shall they give any thing unto them that make 
war upon them, or aid them with victuals, weapons, money, 
or ships, as it hath seemed good unto the Romans : but they 
shall keep their covenants without taking any thing therefor. 

27 In the same manner alsc, if war come first upon the na- 
tion of the Jews, the Romans shall help tiiem with all their

3 Also the first month of the hundred fifty and second year

thousand footmen, and two thousand liorsemen. 

5 Now Judas had pitched his tents at Eleasa, and three thou-

6 Who seeing the multitude of the other army to be so great, 
were sore afraid , whereupon manj^ conveyed themselves out 
of the host, insomuch as there abode of them no more but eight

7 When Juda.i therefore saw that his host slipped away, and 
that the battle jjtessed upon him, he was sore troubled in mind, 
° and much distressed, for that he had no time to gather them 
together. 

8 Nevertheles,'^, unto tliem that remained, he said. Let us arise

35 Now Jonatlian had sent his brother || John, a captain of 
the people, to pray his friends the Nabatliites, t that they might 
leave with them their carriage, whicli was mtich. 

36 But the children of t Jambri came out of Medaba, and 
took Jolin, and all tliat he had, and went their way with it. 

37 After this came word to Jonathan and Sin)on his brother, he might 
\ that the children of Jambri made a great marriage, and were f/jc" tA^lJ 
" bringing the bride I'rom || Nadabatha with a great train, as be- 
ing the daughter of one of the great princes of Chanaan. 

38 Tiierefoie they remembered John their brother, and went 
up, and hid themselves under the covert of tlie mountain : 

39 \¥hcre they lifted up their eyes, and looked, and behold, 
there was much ado and ° great carriage : and the bridegroom Medab, 
came forth, and his friends and bretiiren, to meet them with 
II drums, and || instruments of music, and many weapons. 

40 Then Jonathan and they that were whh him rose up 
against them from the place where they lay in ambush, and 
made a slaughter of them in such sort, as many fell down dead, 
and the remnant fled into the mountain, and they took all their 
spoils. 

41 TIius was r the marriage turned into mourning, and the 
noise of their '' melody into lamentation. 

42 So when they had avenged fully the blood of their broth- 
er, they turned again to the marsh of Jordan. 

43 Now when Bacchides heard hereof, he came on ttie sab- 
bath-day unto the banks of Jordan with a great power. 

44 Then Jonathan said to his company, Let us go up now

13 They also of Judas' side, '^ even they sounded their tnim 
pets also, so ' that the earth shook at the noise of the armies, 
and the battle continued from morning till night. 

14 Now when Judas perceived tiiat Bacchides and the 
strength of his army were on the right side, he took with him 
all the hardy men, 

15 AVho discomfited the right wing, and pursued them unto 
the mount Azotus. 

16 But when they of the left wing saw that thej' of the right 
wing were discomfited, they followed upon Judas and those that 
were with him hard at the heels from behind : 

17 Whereupon there was a sore battle, insomuch as many 
were slain on both parts. 

18 8^ Judas also was killed, and the remnat fled. 

19 Then Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and 
buried him in the sepulchre of his fathers in '' Modin. 

20 Moreover ' they bewailed him, and all Israel made great 
lamentation for him, and mourned many days, saying, 

21 '' How is the valiant man fallen, that delivered Israel ! \ 

22 As for the other things concerning Judas and his wars, 5 
and the noble acts which he did, and his greatness, they are not ^

his hand to smite Bacchides, but he turned back from him. 

48 Then Jonathan and they that were with him leaped into

other passed not over Jordan unto them. 

49 So there were slain of Bacchides' side that day about || a

56 So Alcinms died at that time with great torment. ; 

57 Now when Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead, he re- !

two years. 

58 Then all the ungodly men held a council, saying, Behold, :

now therefore we will bring Bacchides hither, who shall take I

59 So they went and ^ consulted with him. ;

13 Insomuch as every man left his place, and went into his

Jonathan and those that were with him : howbeit they could 
not, '' because their counsel was known unto them. 

61 Wherefore they took of the men of the country, that were 
authors of that mischief, about fifty persons, and slew them. 

62 Afterward Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were with 
him, got them away to Bethbasi, which is in the wilderness, 
and they repaired the decays thereof, and made it strong. 

63 \Vhich thing when Bacchides knew, he gathered togeth-

64 Then went he and laid siege against Bethbasi ; and they 
fought against it a long season, and made engines of war. 

65 But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city, and went 
forth himself into the country, and with a certain number went 
he forth. 

66 And he smote || Odonarkes and his brethren, and the 
children of Phasiron in their tent. 

67 And when he began to smite them, and came up with his 
forces, Simon and his company went out of the city, and burn-

68 And fought against Bacchides, who was discomfited by

was in vain. 

69 Wherefore he was very wroth at the ' wicked rnen that

for tiie people had received him, by means whereof he reigned 
there. 

2 Now when king Demetrius heard thereof, he gathered to-

3 Moreover, Demetrius sent letters unto Jonathan with lov-

4 For, Jiaid he, '' Let us first make peace with him, before he 
join with Alexander against us : 

5 Else he will remember all (he evils that we have done

6 Wherefore he gave him authority to "= gatiier togetlier a 
host, and to provide weapons, that he might aid him in battle : 
he commanded also that the hostages that were in the tower 
should be delivered him. 

7 Then came Jonathan to Jerusalem, and read the letters in

done, and of the pains that they had endured, 

16 He said, Shall we find such another man ? now therefore 
we will make him our friend and confederate. 

17 Upon this he wrote a letter, and sent it unto him, accord- 
ing to these words, saying, 

18 King '' Alexander to his brother Jonathan .sendeth greet-

19 We have heard of thee, that thou art a man of great pow-

20 Wherefore now this day we ordain thee to be the high 
priest of thy nation, and to be called ' the king's friend ; (and 
therewithal he sent him '' a purple robe and a crown of gold :) 
and require thee to take our part, and keep friendship with us. 

21 So in the seventh month of the hundred and sixtieth year, 
at the feast of the tabernacles, Jonathan put on the holy robe, 
and gathered together forces, and provided much armour. 

22 Whereof when Demetrius heard, he was very sorry, and 
said, 

23 What have we done, that Alexander hath prevented us 
in making amity with the Jews to strengthen himself? 

24 I also will write unto them words of encouragement, ' and 
promise them dignities and gifts, that I may have their aid. 

25 He sent unto them therefore to this etfect : King Deme- 
trius unto the people of the Jews sendeth greeting : 

26 Whereas ye have kept •" covenants with us, ana continu- 
ed in our friendship, not joining yourselves with our enemies, 
we have heard hereof, and are glad. 

27 Wherefore now continue ye still to be faithful unto us, 
and we will well recompense you for the things ye do in our 
behalf, 

28 And will grant you many immunities, " and give you re- 
wards. 

29 And now do I free you, and for your sake I release all 
the Jews, ° from tributes, and from the customs of salt, and 
from crown taxes, 

30 And from that which appertaineth unto me to receive for 
the third part of the seed, and the half of the fruit of the trees, 
I release it from this day forth, so that they shall not be taken 
of the land of Judea, nor of the three governments whicli are 
added thereunto out of the country of Samaria and Galilee, 
from this day forth for evermore. 

31 Let p Jerusalem also be holy and free, with the borders Pi^eh. ii, 
thereof, both from tenths and tributes. 

32 And as for '' the tower which is at Jerusalem, I yield up "J^er. c, 7 
my authority over it, and give it to the high priest, that he may 
set in it such men as he shall choose to keep it

it as a free gift to the sanctuary at Jerusalem for the necessary 
expenses || of the sanctuary. 

40 Moreover I give every year fifteen thousand shekels of 
silver out of the king's accounts from the places appertaining. 

41 And all the overplus, which the officers payed not in as 
in former time, from henceforth shall be given toward the 
works of the '' temple. 

42 And besides this, the five thousand shekels of silver, which 
they took from the uses of the temple out of the accounts year 
by year, even those things shall be released, because they ap- 
pertain to the priests that minister. 

43 And whosoever they be that flee unto the temple at Jeru-

44 For the building also and repairing of the works of the 
' sanctuary, expenses shall be given of the king's accounts. 

45 Yea, and for the building of " the walls of Jerusalem, and 
RNalta, 3 jjjg fortifying thereof round about, expenses shall be given out 

of the king's accounts, as also for the building of the walls in 
Judea. 

46 Now when Jonathan and the people heard these words, 

they gave no credit unto them, nor received them., because they j 

remembered the great evil that he had done in Israel ; '' for he ? 

had afflicted them very sore. | 

47 But with Alexander they were well pleased, because he | 
was the first that entreated of true peace with them, and they i 
were confederate with him always. 5 

48 Then gathered king Alexander great forces, and camped | 
over against Demetrius. _ j 

49 And after the two kings had joined battle, Demetrius' 
host fled : but Alexander followed after him, and ■= prevailed 
against them. 

50 And he continued the battle very sore until the sun went 
down : and that day was Demetrius slain. 

5 1 Afterward Alexander sent "^ ambassadors to Ptolemee king 
of Egypt with a message to this effect : 

52 Forasmuch as I am come again to my realm, and am set 
in the throne of my progenitors, and have gotten the dominion, 
and overthrown Demetrius, and recovered our country ; 

53 For after I had joined battle with him, both he and his 



67 Furthermore in the hundred threescore and fifth year province. 
came Demetrius son of Demetrius out of " Crete into the land cir. 144 
of his fathers : 

68 Whereof when king Alexander heard tell, he was right " '^'*"* *• 
sorry, and returned into Antioch. 

69 Then Demetrius made Apollonius the governor of Ce- 
losyria his general, who gathered together a great host, and 
camped in Jamnia, and sent unto Jonathan the liigh priest, 
saying, 

70 Thou alone liftest up thyself against us, and ° I am laugh- 
ed to scorn for thy sake, and reproached : and why dost thou 
vaunt thy power against us in the mountains ? o Ps. ae, 7 

71 Now therefore, if thou trustest in thine own strength, 
I come down to us into the plain field, and there let us try the

matter together : for with me is the power of the cities. 

72 Ask and learn who I am, and the rest that take our 
part, and they shall tell thee that thy foot is not able to stand 
before our face ; for thy fathers have been twice put to flight 
in their own land. 

73 Wherefore now thou shalt not be able to abide p the 
horsemen and so great a power in the plain, where is neither P^s. 20,7 
stone nor flint, nor place to flee unto. 

74 So when Joitathan heard these words of Apollonius, 1 he 
for he I was moved in his mind, and choosing ten thousand men, he ll*^^'''> 5 

went out of Jerusalem, where Simon his brother met him for 
to help him. 

75 And he pitched his tents against Joppe : but they of 
Joppe shut him out of the city, because Apollonius had a 
garrison there. 

76 Then Jonathan laid siege unto it : whereupon they of the 
city let him in for fear : and so Jonathan won Joppe. 

77 Whereof when Apollonius heard, he took three thousand 
horsemen, with a great host of footmen, and went to' Azotus "^ "^'^-''^ 
|1 as one that journeyed, and therewithal || drew him forth into 11 Or, as 
the plain, because he had a great number of horsemen, in woMp'l^s 
whom he put his trust. 

78 Then Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, where the 
armies joined battle. 

79 Now ' Apollonius had left a thousand horsemen in am- 
bush.

54 Now therefore let us make a league ' of amity together, ] 81 But the people stood still, as Jonathan had commanded 
ech.8,17 and give me now thy daughter to wife : and I will be thy son- ^ 

in-law, and will give both thee and her gifts according to thy 5

55 Then Ptolemee the king gave answer, saying, Happy be > 
the day wherein thou didst return into the land of thy fathers, $ 
and sattest ' in the throne of their kingdom. | 

56 And now will Ido to thee, as thou hast written : meet me i 
therefore at Ptolemais, that we may see one another ; for I | 
will marry my daughter to thee s according to thy desire. 

57 So Ptolemee went out of Egypt with his daughter Cle- 
opatra, and they came unto Ptolemais in the hundred three- 
score and second year : 

58 Where king Alexander meeting him, gave unto him his 
daughter Cleopatra, and celebrated her marriage at Ptolemais 
with great glory, ^ as the manner ofkings is. 

59 Now king Alexander had written unto Jonathan, that he 
should come and meet him. 

60 Who thereupon went honourably to Ptolemais, where

82 Then brougiit Simon forth his host, and set them against 13. c8 
the footmen (for the horsemen were spent,) who were discom-

83 The horsemen also, being scattered in the field, fled to 
' Azotus, and went into Beth-dagon, their idol's temple, for 
safety. 

84 But Jonathan set fire on Azotus, and the cities round 
about it, and took their spoils : and the " temple of Dagon, 
with them that were fled into it, he burned with fire. 

85 Thus there were burned and slain with the sword well 
nigh eight thousand men. 

86 And from thence Jonathan removed his host, and camp- 
ed against ' Asc^ilon, where the men of the city came forth, x 1 Sam.

87 After this returned Jonathan and his host unto Jerusalem, 
having many spoils.

e Pa. 83,3, ecj e wicked counsels against Alexander. 

9 Whereupon he sent ambassadors unto king Demetrius, 
saying. Come, let us make a league betwixt us, and I will 
give thee ^ my daughter whom Alexander hath, and thou 
shalt reign in thy father's kingdom : 

10 For 1 repent that I gave my daughter unto him, for he 
sought to slay me. 

11 Thus did he s slander him, because ne was desirous of 
his kingdom. 

12 Wherefore he took his daughter from him, and gave her 
to Demetrius, and forsook Alexander, so that their hatred was 
openly known. 

13 Then Ptolemee entered into Antioch, where he set two 
^ crowns upon his head, the crown of Asia, and of Egypt. 

14 In the mean season was king Alexander in Cilicia, 
because those that dwelt in those parts had revolted from 
him. 

15 But when Alexander heard of this, he came to war 
against him : whereupon king Ptolemee brought forth his 
host, and met him with a mighty power, and put him to flight. 

16 So Alexander fled into ' Arabia, there to be defended ; 
but king Ptolemee was exalted : 

17 For Zabdiel the Arabian, took off Alexander's head, and 
sent it unto Ptolemee. 

18 King Ptolemee also died the third day after, t and they 
that were in the strong holds were slain one of another. 

19 By this means Demetrius reigned in the hundred three- 
score and seventh year. 

20 At the same time Jonathan gathered together them that 
were in Judea, to take the ^ tower that was in Jerusalem : and 
he made many engines of war against it. 

21 Then certain ungodly persons, who hated their own 
people, went unto the king, and told him that Jonathan be- 
sieged the tower. 

22 Whereof when he heard, he was angry, and immediately 
removing, he ca.me to ' Ptoletnais, and wrote unto Jonathan, 
that he should not lay siege to the tower, but come and speak 
with hirn at Ptolemais, in great haste. 

23 Nevertheless, Jonathan, when he heard this, commanded 
to besiege it still : and he chose certain of the elders of Israel, 
and the priests, and put himself in peril ; 

24 And took silver and gold, and raiment, and divers pres- 
ents besides, and went to Ptolemais unto the king, "" where he 
found favour in his sight. 

25 And though certain " ungodly men of the people had 
nch. 10, 61 made complaints against him, 

verse 21 ^Q Yet the king entreated him as his predecessors had done 

bbfore, and promoted him in the siglit of all his friends, 

27 And confirmed him in "the high priesthood, and in all 
och-io, 20 the honours that he had before, and gave him pre-eminence 
among his chief friends.

the country of Samaria ; and he promised him three hundred 



verse 57 



29 So the king consented, and wrote letters unto Jonathan 
of all these things after this manner : 

30 King Demetrius unto his brother Jonathan, and unto the 
nation of the Jews, sendeth greeting : 

3 1 We send you here a copy of the letter which we did 
write unto our cousin Lasthenes concerning you, that ye might 
see it 



37 Now therefore see that thou make a copy of these things, 
and let it be delivered unto Jonathan, and set upon ' the holy 
mount in a conspicuous place. 

38 After this, when king Demetrius saw that the land was 
quiet before him, and that no resistance was made against him, 
he sent away all his forces, every one to his own place, except 
certain bands of strangers, whom he had gathered from the 
' isles of the heathen: wherefore all the forces of his fathers 
hated him. 

39 Moreover, there was one Tryphon, that had been of Al- 
exander's part afore, who, seeing that all the host murmured 
against Demetrius, went to Simalcue the Arabian, that brought 
up Antiochus the young son of Alexander, 

40 And lay sore upon him to deliver him this young Anti- 
ochus, that he might reign in his father's stead : he told him 
therefore all that Demetrius had done, and " how his men of 
war were at enmity with him ; and there he remained a long 
season. 

41 In the mean time Jonathan sent unto king Demetrius, 
that he would cast those of" the tower out of Jerusalem, and 
those also in the fortresses : for they fought against Israel. 

42 So Demetrius sent unto Jonathan, saying, I will not only 
do this for thee and thy people, but I will ' greatly honour thee 
and thy nation, if opportunity serve. 

43 Now therefore thou shalt do well, if thou send memento 
help me ; for all my forces are gone from me. 

44 Upon this Jonathan sent him three thousand strong men 
unto Antioch : and when they came to the king, the king was 
very glad of their coming. 

45 Howbeit, they that were of the city gathered themselves 
together, into the midst of the city, to the number of a hundred 
and twenty thousand men, ^ and would have slain the king. 

46 Wherefore the king fled into the court, but they of the 
city kept the passages of the city, and began to fight. 

47 Then the king called to the Jews for help, who came unto 
him all at once, and, dispersing themselves through the city, 
slew that day in the city to the number of a hundred thousand. 

48 Also they set fire on the city, and gat many spoils that 
day, " and delivered the king. 

49 So when they of the city saw that the Jews had got the 
city as they would, their courage was abated : wherefore they 
made supplication to the king, and cried, saying, 

50 II Grant us peace, and let the Jews cease from assaulting 
us and the city. 

51 AVith that they cast away their weapons, and made 
peace ; and the Jews were honoured in the sight of the king, 
and in the sight of all that were in his realm ; and they re- 
turned to Jerusalem, ^' having great spoils. 

52 So king Demetrius sat on the throne of his kingdom, and 
the land was quiet before him. 

53 Nevertheless, he dissembled in all that ever he spake, and 
estranged himself from Jonathan, neither rewarc'cd he him 
according to the benefits which lie had received of him, but 
troubled him very sore. 

54 After this returned ° Tryphon, and with him the •^ young 
child Antiochus, who reigned, and was crowned. 

55 Then there gathered unto him all the men of war, whom 
Demetrius had put away, and they fought against De-metrius, 
who turned his back and fled. 

56 Moreover, Tryphon took the t elephants, and won Anti- 
och. 

57 At that time young Antiochus wrote unto Jonathan, sayin %,

them to the plain of Nasor. 

68 And behold, the host of strangers met them in the plain, 
who having laid '' men in ambush for him in the mountains, 
came themselves over against him. 

69 So when they that lay in ambush rose out of their places,

70 Insomuch as there was not one of them left, except Mat-

even unto their own tents, and there they camped. 

74 So there were slain of the heathen that day about three 
thousand men : but Jonathan returned to Jerusalem.

place, wheresoever he went. 

21 Now they that were in the tower sent messengers unto 
Tryphon, to the end that he should hasten his coming unto 
them by the wilderness, and send them victuals. 

22 Wherefore Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to 
come that night : but there fell a very great snow, by reason 
whereof he came not. So he departed, and came into the 
country of Galaad. 

23 And when he came near to Bascama, he slew Jonathan, 
who was buried there. 

24 Afterward Tryphon returned and went into his own land. 

25 Then sent Simon, and took the bones of Jonathan his 
brother, and buried them in Modin, the city of his fathers. 

26 And all Israel made great lamentation for him, and be- 
wailed him many days. 

2T Simon also built a monument upon the sepulchre of his 
father and his brethren, and raised it aloft to the sight, with 
hewn stone, behind and before. 

28 Moreover, he set up seven pjaamids, one against an- 
other, for his father, and his mother, and his four brethren. 

29 And in these he made cunning devices, about the which 
he set great pillars, and upon the pillars he made all their ar- 
mour for a perpetual memory, and by the armour ships carved, 
that they might be seen of all that sail on the sea. 

30 This is the sepulchre which he made at Moditj, and it 
standeth yet unto this day. 

31 Now Tryphon dealt deceitfully with the young king 
Antiochus, and slew him. 

32 And he reigned in his stead, and crowned himself king 
of Asia, and brought a great calamity upon the land. 

33 Then Simon buiit up the strong holds in Judea, and 
fenced them about with high towers, and great walls, and 
gates, and bars, and laid up victuals t therein. 

34 Moreover, Simon chose men, and sent to king Demetrius, 
to the end he should give the land an immunity, because 
t all that Tryplion did was to spoil. 

35 Unto whom king Demetrius answered and v/rote after 
this manner : 

36 King Demetrius unto Simon the high priest, and friend 
of kings, as also unto the elders and nation of the Jews, send- 
eth greeting : 

37 The golden crown, and the scarlet robe, which ye sent 
unto us, we have received : and we are ready to make a 
steadfast peace with you, yea, and to write unto our oificers, 
to confirm the immunities whicii we have granted. 

38 And whatsoever covenants we have made with you shall 
stand ; and the strong holds, which ye have builded, shall be 
your own. 

39 As for any oversight or fault committed unto this day, 
we forgive it, and the crown tax also, which ye owe us : and 
if there were any other tribute paid in Jerusalem, it shall no 
more be paid. 

40 And look who are meet among you to be in our court, 
let them be enrolled, and let there be peace betwixt us. 

41 Thus the yoke of the heathen was taken away from 
Israel in the hundred and seventieth year. 

42 Then the people of Israel began to write in their instru- 
ments and contracts, In the first year of Simon the high priest, 
the governor and leader of the Jews. 

43 In those days Simon camped against Gaza, and besieged 
it round about ; he made also an engine of war, and set it by 
the city, and battered a certain tower, and took it. 

44 And they that were in the engine leaped into the city ; 
whereupon there was a great uproar in the city : 

45 Insomuch as the people of the city rent their clothes, and 
climbed upon the walls with their wives and children, and

85 



I will give it thee, and the rest of the strong holds and forces, I 
and all that have any charge : as for me, I will return and 
depart : for this is the cause of my coming. 

46 So Jonathan, " believing him, did as he bade him, and \ 
sent away his host, who went into the land of Judea. 

47 And with himself he retained but three thousand men, of | 
whom he t sent two thousand Into Galilee, and one thousand ; 
went with him. 

48 Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, they of < 
Ptolemais shut the gates, and took him, and all them that came | 
with him they slew with the sword. ^ 

^^ 49 Then sent Tryphon a host of footmen and horsemen into | 
" Galilee, and into the great plain, to destroy all Jonathan's | 
company. 

50 But when they knew that Jonathan and they that were L 
with him were taken and slain, they encouraged one another, } 
and went close together, prepared to fight. f 

51 They therefore that followed upon them, perceiving that ; 
they were ready to fight for their lives, turned back again. : 

52 Whereupon they all came into the land of Judea peace- 1 
y^2 Sara. 1 ably, and there they y bewailed Jonathan, and them that were ; 

with him, and they were sore afraid ; wherefore all Israel made 1 
great lamentation. ' 

53 Then all the heathen that were round about them sought ; 
to destroy them : for, said they, They have no captain, nor any \ 
to help them : now therefore let us make war upon tnem, and J 
take away their memorial from among men.

36 Simon is favoured by Demetrius, and winneth Gaza, and the tower of Jenisalem. < 

[OW when Simon heard that Tryphon had gathered togeth- j 
er a great host to invade the land of Judea, and destroy it, ] 

2 And saw that the people was in great trembling and fear, J 
he went up to Jerusalem, and gathered the people together, 

3 And gave them exhortation, saying, Ye yourselves know ; 
what great things I, and my brethren, and my father's house, | 
have done for the laws and the sanctuary, the battles also and ' 
troubles which we have seen. 

4 By reason whereof all my brethren are slain for Israel's ; 
sake, and I am left alone. ; 

5 Now therefore be it far from me, that I should spare mine ! 
own life in any time of trouble : for I am no better than my ; 
brethren. I 

6 Doubtless I will avenge my nation, and the sanctuary, and \ 
our wives, and our children : for all the heathen are gathered 
to destroy us of very malice. 

7 Now as soon as the people heard these words, their spirit ; 
revived. 

8 And they answered with a loud voice, saying. Thou shalt \ 
be our leader instead of Judas and Jonathan thy brother. ' 

9 Fight thou our battles, and whatsoever thou commandest \ 
us, that will we do. 

10 So then he gathered together all the men of war, and, 
made haste to finish the walls of Jerusalem, and he fortified it 1 
round about. 

11 Also he sent Jonathan the sow of Absalom, and with him 
a great power, to Joppe : who casting out them that were I 
therein, remained there in it. \ 

12 So Tryphon removed from Ptolemais with a great power I 
to invade the land of Judea, and Jonathan was with him in ward. \ 

13 But Simon pitched his tents at Adida,overagainsttheplain. ; 

14 Now when Tryphon knew that Simon was risen up in- \

him, he sent messengers unto him, saying, i

4S Yea, he put all uncleanness out of it, and placed such

was before, and built therein a dwelling-place for himself. 

49 They also of the tower in Jerusalem were kept so strait, 
that they could neither come forth, nor go into the country, nor 
buy, nor sell : wherefore they were in great distress for want 
of victuals, and a g'-eat nuijiber of them perished through 
famjne. 

50 Then cried they to Simon, beseeching him || to be at

had put them out from thence, he cleansed the tower from 
pollutions :

second monlii, in the hundred seventy and first year, with 
thanksgiving, and branches of palm-trees, and with harps, and 
cymbals, and with viols, and hymns, and songs : because 
there was destroyed a great enemy out of Israel. 

52 He ordained also that that day should be kept every 
year with gladness. Moreover, the hill of the temple that was 
by the tower he made stronger than it was, and there he dwelt 
himself with liis company. 

53 And when Simon saw that John his son was a valiant 
man, he made him captain of all the hosts ; and he dwelt in

2 But when Arsaces, the king of Persia and Media, heard 
that Demetrius was entered within his borders, he sent one of 
his piinces to take him alive : 

3 Who went and smote the host of Demetrius, and took 
him, and brought him to Arsaces, by whom he was put in ward. 

4 As for tiie land of Judea, that was quiet all the days of 
Simon ; for he sought the good of his nation in such wise, as 
that evermore liis authority and honour pleased them well. 

5 And as he was honourable in all his acts, so in this, that 
he took Joppe for a haven, and made an entrance to the isles 
of the sea, 

6 And enlarged the bounds of his nation, and recovered the 
country, 

7 And gathered together a great number of captives, and 
had the dominion of Gazara, and Bethsura, and the tower, out

that resisted him.

22 And did register the things that they spake in the coun- 
cil of the people in this manner, Numenius son of Antiochus, 
and Antipater son of Jason, the Jews' ambassadors, came 
unto us to renew the friendship they had with us. 

23 And it pleased the people to entertain the men honour- 
ably, and to put the copy of their ambassage in public re- 
cords, to the end the people of the Lacedemonians might have 
a memorial thereof : furthermore, we have written a copy 
thereof unto Simon tire high priest. 

24 After this, Simon sent Numenius to Rome with a great 
shield of gold of a thousand pound weight, to confirm the 
league with them. 

25 Whej-eof when the people heard, they said. What thanks 
sliall we give to Simon and his sons ? 

26 For he and his brethren and the house of his father have 
established Israel, and chased away in fight their enemies 
from them, and confirmed their liberty. 

27 So then they wrote it in tables of brass, which they set 
upon pillars in mount Sion : and this is the copy of the wri- 
ting ; The eighteenth day of the month Elul, in the hundred 
threescore and twelfth year, being the third year of Simon the 
high priest, 

28 At II Saramel in the great congregation of the priests, 
and people, and rulers of the nation, and elders of the country, 
were these things notified unto us. 

29 Forasmuch as oftentimes there have been wars in the 
countiy, wherein for the maintenance of their sanctuary, and poBitionor 
the law, Simon the son of Mattathias, of the posterity of Jarib, fetters; or 
together with his brethren, put themselves in jeopardy, and, "" " 
resisting the enemies of their nation, did their nation great 
honour : 

SO (For after that Jonathan, having gathered his nation fonsuhof 
together, and been their high priest, was added to his people, matte-, 

31 Their enemies purposed to invade their country, that '*'"'' 
they might destroy it, and lay hands on the sanctuary : 

32 At which time Simon rose up, and fought for his nation, 
and spent much of his own substance, and armed || the valiant 
men of his nation, and gave them wages, 

33 And fortified the cities of Judea, together whh Bethsura, 
that lieth upon the borders of Judea, where the jj armour of the 
enemies had been before ; but he set a garrison of Jews there : 

34 Moreover, he fortified Joppe, which lieth upon the sea, 
and II Gazara, that bordereth upon Azotus, where the enemies 
had dwelt before : but he placed Jews there, and furnished 
them with all things convenient for the reparation thereof.) 

35 The people therefore, seeing the acts of Simon, and unto 
what glory he thought to bring his nation, made him their gov- 
ernor and chief priest, because he had done all these things, 
and for the justice and faith which he kept to his nation, and 
for that he sought by all means to exalt his people. 

36 For in his time things prospered in his hands, so that 
the heathen were taken out of their country, and they also that 
were in the city of David in Jerusalem, who had made them- 

s selves a tower, out of which they issued, and polluted all about

tliere was none to fray them 

13 Neither was there any left in the land to fight against 
them : yea, the kings themselves were overthrown in those 
days. 

14 Moreover, he strengthened all those of bis people that 
were brought low : the law he searched out ; and every con- 
temner of the law and wicked person he took away. 

15 He beautified the sanctuary, and multiplied the vessels 
of the temple. 

16 Now when it was heard at Rome, and as far as Sparta, 
that Jonathan was dead, they were very sorry. 

17 But as soon as they heard that his brother Simon was 
made high priest in his stead, and ruled the country, and the 
cities therein : 

18 They wrote unto him in tables of brass, to renew the 
friendship and league which they had made with Judas and 
Jonathan his brethren : 

19 Which writings were read before the congregation at 
Jerusalem. 

20 A^d this is the copy of the letters that the Lacedemonians 
sent 



37 But he placed Jews therein, and fortified it for the safety 
of the country and the city, and raised up the walls of Jerusalem. 

38 King Demetrius also confirmed him in the high priest- 
hood according to those things, 

39 And made him one of his friends, and honoured him with 
great honour. 

40 For he had heard say, that the Romans had called the 
Jews their friends and confederates and brethren ; and that 
they had entertained the ambassadors of Simon honourably ; 

41 Also that the Jews and priests were well pleased that Si- 
mon should be their governor and high priest for ever, until 
there should arise a faithful prophet ; 

42 Moreover, that he should be their captain, and should 
take charge of the sanctuary, to set them over their works, and 
over the country, and over the armour, and over the fortresses, 
that,! say, he should take charge of the sanctuary ; 

43 Besides this, that he should be obeyed of every man, and 
that all the writings in the country should be made in his name, 
and that he should be clothed in purple, and wear gold : 



II Or, unto

^44 Also that it should be lawful for none of the people or

46 Thus It liked all the people to deal with Simon, and do 
as hath been said. 

47 Then Simon accepted hereof, and was well pleased to 
be high priest, and captain and governor of the Jews and 
priests, and to defend them all. 

48 So they commanded that this writing should be put in 
tables of brass, and that they should be set up within the com- 
pass of the sanctuary in a conspicuous place ; 

49 Also that the copies thereof should be laid up in the 
treasury, to the end that Simon and his sons might have them.

dft 140, IVFOREOVER Antiochus, son of Demetrius the king, sent 
jJISl letters from the isles of the sea unto Simon the priest and 
prince of the Jews, and to all the people ; 

2 The contents whereof were these : King Antiochus to 
Simon the high priest and prince of his nation, and to the 
people of the Jews, greeting : 

3 Forasmuch as certain pestilent men have usurped the 
kingdom of our fathers, and my purpose is to challenge it \ 
ngain, that I may restore it to the old estate, and io that end " 
have gathered a multitude of foreign soldiers together, and 
prepared ships of war ; 

4 My meaning also being to go through the country, that I 
may be avenged of them that have destroyed it, and made 
many cities in the kingdom desolate ; 

5 Now therefore I confirm unto thee all the oblations which 
the kings before me granted thee, and whatsoever gifts besides 
they granted. 

6 I give thee leave also to coin money for thy country with 
thine own stamp. 

7 And as concerning Jerusalem and the sanctuary, let them 
be free ; and all the armour that thou hast made, and fortresses 
that thou hast built, and keepest in thy hands, let them re- 
main unto thee. 

8 And if any thing be, or shall be, owing to the king, let it 
be forgiven thee from this time forth for evermore. 

9 Furthermore, when we have obtained our kingdom, we 
will honour thee, and thy nation, and thy temple, with great 
honour, so that your honour shall be known throughout the 
world. 

10 In the hundred threescore and fourteenth year went An- 
tiochus into the land of his fathers: at which time all the i 
forces came together unto him, so that few were left with 5 
Tryphon. \ 

1 1 Wherefore, being pursued by king Antiochus, he fled $ 
unto Dora, which lieth by the sea-side : \ 

12 For he saw that troubles came upon him all at once, and 
that his forces had forsaken him. 

13 Then camped Antiochus against Dora, having with him 
a hundred and twenty thousand men of war, and eight thou- 
sand horsemen. 

14 And when he had compassed the city round about, and 
joined ships close to the town on the sea-side, he vexed the 
city by land and by sea, neither suffered heanj'to go out or in. 

15 In the mean season came Numenius and his company 
from Rome, having letters to the kings and countries ; wherein I 
were written these things : 5 

IG Lucius, consul of the Romans, unto king Ptolemee, | 
greeting : s 

17 The Jews' ambassadors, our friends and confederates,? 
came unto us to renew the old friendship and league, being \ 
sent from Simon the high priest, and from the people of the ] 
Jews : ^ 

1 8 And they brought a shield of gold of a thousand pound. S 

19 We thought it good therefore to write unto the kings \ 
and countries, that they should do them no harm, nor fight \ 
against them, their cities, or countries, nor yet aid their ene- 5 
mies against them. > 

20 It seemed also good to us to receive the shield of them, i 

21 If therefore there be any pestilent fellows, that have fled \ 
|, Or, from their country unto you, dehver them unto Simon the high \ 
ArMh't priest, that he may punish them according to their own law. \ 

^^ 22 The same things wrote he likewise unto Demetrius the \ 

Sampsacea king, and Attains, to || Ariarathes, and Arsaces, 5 

Lat.iMij; 23 And to all the countries, and to 11 Sampsames, and the I

dus, and Gortyna, and Cnidus, and Cyprus, and Cyrene. ifor?'"*^ 

24 And the copy hereof they wrote to Simon the high -B<"!'"- 
priest. 

25 So Antiochus the king camped against Dora the second |Qj._ 
day, t assaulting it continually, and making engines, by which bringing 
means he shut up Tryphon, that he could neither go out nor in. \l\('^"' 

26 At that time Simon sent him two thousand chosen men to 
aid him ; silver also, and gold, and much armour. 

27 Nevertheless he would not receive them, but brake all the 
covenants which he had made with him afore, and became 
strange unto him. 

28 Furthermore he sent unto him Athenobius, one of his 
friends, to commune with him, and say, Ye withhold Joppe 
and Gazara, with the tower that is in .Jerusalem, which are 
cities of my reakn. 

29 The borders thereof ye have wasted, and done great hurt 
in the land, and got the dominion of many places within my 
kingdom. 

30 Now therefore deliver the cities which ye have taken, and 
the tributes of the places whereof ye have gotten dominion 

II without the borders of Judea : n Qr, e« 

31 Or else give me for them five hundred talents of silver ; ccpttke 
and for the harm that ye have done, and the tributes of the ^"J''''''*' 
cities, other five hundred talents : if not, we will come and 

li fight against you. \\OT,svb. 

32 So Athenobius the king's friend came to Jerusalem : and duetjouin 
vvhen he saw the glory of Simon, and the cupboard of gold and ■'^'"• 
silver plate, and his great attendance, he was astonished, and 

told him the king's message. 

33 Then answered Simon, and said unto him, We have 
neither taken other men's land, nor holden that which apper- 
taineth to others, but the inheritance of our fathers, which our 
enemies had wrongfully in possession a certain time. 

34 Wherefore we, having opportunity, hold the inheritance 
of our fathers. 

35 And whereas thou demandest Joppe and Gazara, albeit 
they did great harm unto the people in our country, yet will we 
give a hundred talents for them. Hereunto Athenobius an- 
swered him not a word ; 

36 But returned in a rage to the king, and made report unto 
him of these speeches, and of the glory of Simon, ^nd of all 
that he had seen : whereupon the king was exceeding wroth. 

37 In the mean time fled Tryphon by ship unto Orthosias. 

38 Then the king made Cendebeus captain of the sea-coast, 
and gave him a host of footmen and horsemen, 

39 And commanded him to remove his host toward Judea . 
also he commanded him to build up Cedron, and to fortify tlie 
gates, and to war against the people ; but as for the king him- 
self, he pursued Tryphon. 

40 So Cendebeus came to Jamnia, and began to provoke the 
people, and to invade Judea, and to take the people prisoners, 
and slay them. 

41 And when he had built up Cedron, he set horsemen there, 
and a host of footmen, to the end that issuing out they might 
make outroads upon the ways of Judea, as tne king had com- 
manded him.

THEN came up John from Gazara, and told Simon his fath- 
er what Cendebeus had done. 
2 Wherefore Simon called his two eldest sons, Judas and 
John, and said unto them, I, and my brethren, and my father's 
house, have ever from our youth unto this day fought against 
the enemies of Israel ; and things have prospered so well in 
our hands, that we have delivered Israel oftentimes. 
_ 3 But now I am old, and ye, by God's mercy, are of a suffi- 
cient age : be ye instead of me and my brother, and go and 
fight for our nation, and the help from heaven be with you. 

4 So he chose out of the country twenty thousand men of 
war with horsemen, who went out against Cendebeus, and 
rested that night at Modin. 

5 And when as they rose in the morning, and went into the 
plain, behold, a mighty great host both of footmen and horse- 
men came against them : howbeit there was a water-brook be- 
twixt them. 

6 So he and his people pitched over against them : and when 
he saw that the people were afraid to go over the water-brook,

CHAPTER I. 

I A letter of the Jews from Jerusalem to them of Eg^ypt, to thank God for tlie death of 
Antiochus IP Of the fire that was hidden in the piu.,.24The prayer of Neemias. 

cir. 144. npHE brethren, the Jews that be at Jerusalem and in the 
JL land of Judea, wish unto the brethren, the Jews that are 
throughout Egypt, health and peace : 

2 God be gracious unto you, and remember his covenant that 
he made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, his faithful servants ; 

3 And give you all a heart to serve him, and to do his will, 
with a good courage and a willing mind ; 

4 And open your hearts in his law and commandments, and 
send you peace, 

5 And hear your prayers, and be at one with you, and never 
forsake you in tin«e of trouble. 

6 And now we be here praying for you. 

7 What time as Demetrius reigned, in the hundred three- 
score and ninth year, we the Jews wrote unto you in the ex- 
tremity of trouble that came upon us in those years, from the 
time that Jason and his company revolted from the holy land i 
and kingdom, I 

8 And burned the porch, and shed innocent blood : then we | 
prayed unto the Lord, and were heard ; we offered also sacri- \ 
fices and fine flower, and lighted the lamps, and set forth the s 
loaves. > 

9 And now see that ye keep the feast of "^ tabernacles in the \ 
month Casleu. 

10 In the hundred fourscore and eighth year, the people that I 
were at Jerusalem and in Judea, and the council, and Judas, I 
sent greeting and health unto Aristobulus, king Ptolemeus' I 
master, who was of the stock of the anointed priests, and to the | 
Jews that were in Egypt : > 

11 Insomuch as God hath delivered us from great perils, we < 
thank him highly, as having been in battle against a king. S 

12 For he cast them out that fought within the holy city. | 

13 For when the leader was come into Persia, and the army J 
with him that seemed invincible, they were slain in the temple 
of Nanea by the deceit of Nanea's priests. 

1 4 For Antiochus, as though he would marry her, came into 
rt»': v>Iace, and his friends that were with him, to receive money 
in name of a dowry. 

15 Which when the priests of Nanea had set forth, and he 
was entered with a small company into the compass of the tem- 
ple, they shut the temple as soon as Antiochus was come in : 

16 And opening a privy door of the roof, they threw stones 
like thunderbolts, and struck down the captain, hewed them 
in pieces, smote off their heads, and cast them to those that 
were without. 

17 Blessed be our God in all things, who hath delivered up 
the ungodly. 



a Lev. 23, 
34. 



18 Therefore whereas we are now purposed to keep the 
purification of the temple upon the five and twentieth day of 
the month '' Casleu, we thought it necessary to certify you 
thereof, that ye also might keep it, as the feast of the taberna- 
cles, and of the fire, which was given us when Neemias offered 
sacrifice, after that he had builded the temple and the altar. 

19 For when our fathers were led into Persia, the priests 
that were then devout took the fire of the altar privily, and hid 
it in a hollow place of a pit without water, where they kept it 
sure, so that the place was unknown to all men. 

20 Now after many years, when it pleased God, Neemias, 
being sent from the king of Persia, did send of the posterity of 
those priests, that had hid it, to the fire : but when they told 
us they found no fire, but thick water ; 

21 Then commanded he them to draw it up, and to bring 
it ; and when the sacrifices were laid on, Neemias commanded 
the priests to sprinkle the wood and the things laid thereupon 
with the water. 

22 When this was done, and the time came that the sun 
shone, which afore was hid in the cloud, there was a great 
fire kindled, so that every man marvelled. 

23 And the priests made a prayer whilst the sacrifice was 
consuming, I say, both the priests, and all the rest, Jonathan 
beginning, and the rest answering thereunto, as Neemias did. 

^ 24 And the prayer was after this manner; O Lord, Lord 
■ God, Creator of all things, who art fearful and strong, and 
righteous, and merciful, and the only and gracious King, 

25 The only giver of all things, the only just, almighty, and 
everlasting, thou that deliverest Israel from all trouble, and 
didst choose the fathers, and sanctify them : 

26 Receive the sacrifice for thy whole people Israel, and 
preserve thine own portion, and sanctify it. 

27 Gather those together that are scattered from us, de- 
liver them that serve among the heathen, look upon them 
that are despised and abhorred, and let the heathen know that 
thou art our God. 

28 Punish them that oppress us, and with pride do us wrong. 

29 Plant thy people again in thy holy place, as Moses hath 
spoken. 

30 And the priests sung psalms of thanksgiving. 

31 Now when the sacrifice was consumed, Neemias com- 
manded the water that was left to be poured on the great stones, 

32 When this was done, there was kindled a flame : but it 
was consumed by the light that shined from the altar. 

33 So when this matter was known, it was told the king of 
Persia, that in the place, where the priests that were led away qf, 
had hid the fire, there appeared water, and that || Neemias ^'■"w 
had purified the sacrifices therewith. ""^^

34 Then the king, enclosing the place, made it holy, after 
he had tried the matter. 

35 And the king took many gifts, and bestowed thereof on 
those whom he would gratify. 

36 And Neeraias called this thing Naphthar, which is as 
much as to say, A cleansing : hut many men call it Nephi. 

CHAPTER II. 

I Wliat Jeremy tlie prophet did : 5 How lie liid the tabernacle, the ark, and the altar. 

13 What Neemias and Judas wrote 20 What Jason wrote hi five books 25 And 

how those were abridged by the author of this book. 

IT is also found in the records, that Jeremy the prophet 
commanded them that were carried away to take of the 
fire, as it hath been signified : 

2 And how that the prophet, having given them the law, 
charged them not to forget the commandments of the Lord, 
and that they should not err in their minds, when they see 
images of silver and gold, with their ornaments. 

3 And with other such speeches exhorted he them, thdt the 
law should not depart from their hearts. < 

4 It was also contained in the same writing, that the pro- 1 
phet, being warned of God, commanded the tabernacle and * 
the ark to go with him, as he went forth into the mountain, 
where Moses climbed up, and saw the heritage of God. 

5 And when Jeremy came thither, he found a hollow cave, 
wherein he laid the tabernacle, and the ark, and the altar of 
incense, and so stopped the door. 

6 And some of those that followed him came to mark the : 
way, but they could not find it. 

7 Which when Jeremy perceived, he blamed them, saying. 
As for that place, it shall be unknown until the time that God 
gather his people again together, and receive them unto mercy. 

8 Then shall the Lord shew them these things, and the 
glory of the Lord shall appear^, and the cloud also, as it was 
shewed unto Moses, and as wnen Solomon desired that the 
place might be honourably sanctified. 

9 It was also declared, that he being wise offered the sacri- 
fice of dedication, and of the finishing of the temple. 

10 And as when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire came 
down from heaven, and consumed the sacrifices ; even so 
prayed Solomon also, and the fire came down from heaven, : 
and consumed the burnt-offerings. 

11 And Moses said, Because the sin-offering was not to be 
eaten, it was consumed. 

12 So Solomon kept those eight days. 

13 The same things also were reported in the writings and 
com.mentaries of Neemias ; and how he, founding a library, 
gathered together the acts of the kings, and the prophets, and 
of David, and the epistles of the kings concerning the holy 
gifts. 

14 In like manner also Judas gathered together all those 
things that were lost by reason of the war we had, and they 
remain with us. 

15 Wherefore if ye have need thereof, send some to fetch 
them unto you. 

IG Whereas we then are about to celebrate the purification, 
we liave written unto you, and ye shall do well, if ye keep the 
same days. 

17 t We hope also, that the God, that delivered all his peo- 
ple, and gave them all a heritage, and the kingdom, and tlie 
priesthood, and the sanctuary, 

18 As he promised in the law, will shortly have mercy 
upon us, and gather us together out of every land under 
heaven into the holy place : for he hath delivered us out of 
great troubles, and hath purified the place. 

19 Now as concerning Judas Maccabeus, and his brethren, 
and the purification of the great temple, and the dedication of j 
the altar, 

20 And the wars against Antiochus Epiphanes, and Eupa- 
tor his son, 

21 And the manifest signs that came from heaven unto those

22 And recovered again the temple renowned all the world 5

ing down, the Lord being gracious unto them with all favour : s 

23 All these things, 1 say, being declared by Jason of Cj'- \ 
rene in five books, we will assay to abridge in one volume. ' 

24 For considering the infinite number, and the difiiculty \ 
which they find that desire to look into the narrations of the \ 
story, for the variety of the matter, {

have delight, and that they that are desirous to commit to 
memory might have ease, and that all into whose hands it 
Cometh might have profit. 

26 Therefore to us, that have taken upon us this painful 
labour of abridging, it was not easy, but a matter of sweat and 
watching ; 

27 Even as it is no ease unto him that prepareth a banquet, 

and seeketh the benefit of others: yet || for the pleasure of ||0r, ««rfe 
many we will undertake gladly this great pains ; TfmMiy'''' 

28 Leaving to the author the exact handling of every par- 
ticulai\ and labouring to follow the rules of an abridgment. 

29 r or as the master-builder of a new house nmst care for 
the whole building ; but he that undertaketh to set it out, and 
paint it, must seek out fit things for the adorning thereof : 
even so I think it is with us. 

30 To stand upon every point, and go over things at large, 
and to be curious in particulars, belongeth to the first author 
of the story : 

31 But to use brevity, and avoid much labouring of the 
work, is to be granted to him that will make an abridgment. 

32 Here then will we begin the story ; only adding thus 
much to that which hath been said, that it is a foolish thing to 
make a long prologue, and to be short in the story itself. 

CHAPTER IIL 

1 Of the honour done to the temple by the kings of the Gentiles 4 Simon uttereth 

what treasures are in the temple 7 Heliodorus is sent to take them away : 24 He 

is stricken of God, and healed at the prayer of Onias. 

NOW when the holy city was inhabited with all peace, and 
the laws were kept very well, because of the godliness of 
Onias the high priest, and his hatred of wickedness, 

2 It came to pass that even the kings themselves did honour 
the place, and magnify the temple with their best gifts ; 

3 Insomuch that Seleucus king of Asia, of his own revenues, «'■• 18^- 
bare all the costs belonging to the service of the sacrifices. » 

4 But one Simon, of the tribe of Benjamin, who was made 
governor of the temple, fell out with the high priest about dis- 
order in the city. 

5 And when he could not overcome Onias, he gat him to 
Apollonius the son of Thraseas, who then was governor of 
Celosyria and Phenice, 

6 And told him that the treasury in Jerusalem was full of 
infinite sums of money, so that the multitude of their riches, 
which did not pertain to the account of the sacrifices, was in- 
numerable, and that it was possible to bring all into the king's 
hand. 

7 Now when Apollonius came to the king, and had shewed 
him of the money whereof he was told, the king chose out 
Heliodorus his treasurer, and sent him with a commandment 
to bring him the aforesaid money. 

8 So forthwith Heliodorus took his journey, under a colour 
of visiting the cities of Celosyria and Phenice, but indeed to 
fulfil the king's purpose. 

9 And when he was come to Jerusalem, and had been cour- 
teously received of the high priest of the city, he told him 
what intelligence was given of the money, and declared where- 
fore he came, and asked if these things were so indeed. 

10 Then the high priest told him that there was such money 
laid up for the relief of widows and fatherless children : 

11 And that some of it belonged to Hircanus son of Tobias, 
a man of great dignity, and not as that wicked Simon had mis- 
informed : the sum whereof in all was four hundred talents of 
silver, and two hundred of gold : 

12 And that it was altogether impossible that such wrongs 
should be done unto them, that had committed it to the holi- 
ness of the place, and to the majesty and inviolable sanctity of 
the temple, honoured over all the world. 

13 But Heliodorus, because of the king's commandment 
given him, said, Tiiat in any wise it must be brought into the 
king's treasury, 

14 So at the day which he appointed, he entered in to order 
this matter : wherefore there was no small agony throughout 
the whole city. 

15 But the priests, prostrating themselves before the altar in 
their priests' vestments, called unto heaven upon him that made 
a law concerning things given to be kept, that they should 
safely be preserved for such as had committed them to be kept. 

1 6 Then whoso had looked the high priest in the face, it 
would have wounded his heart : for his countenance and the 
changing of his colour declared the inward agony of his mind. 

17 For tlie man was so compassed with fear and horror of 
the body, that it was manifest to them that looked upon him, 
what sorrow he had now in his heart.

20 And all holding their hands toward heaven, made sup-

21 Then it would have pitied a man to see the falling down 
of the multitude of all sorts, and the t fear of the high priest, 
being in such an agony. 

22 They then called upon the Almighty Lord to keep the 
things committed of trust safe and sure for those that had com- 
mitted them. 

23 Nevertheless, Heliodorus executed that which was de- 
creed. 

24 Now as he was there present himself with his guard 
Or, Lerd about the treasury, the || Lord of spirits, and the Prince of all 

v/ovr power, caused a great apparition, so that all that presumed to 
come in with him were astonished at the power of God, and 
fainted, and were sore afraid. 

25 For there appeared unto them a horse with a terrible 
rider upon him, and adorned with a very fair covering, and 
he ran fiercely, and smote at Heliodorus with his fore-feet, 
and it seemecl that he that sat upon the horse had complete 
harness of gold. 

26 Moreover, two other young men appeared before him, 
notable in strength, excellent in beauty, and comely in ap- 
parel, who stood by him on either side, and scourged him con- 
tinually, and gave him many sore stripes. 

27 And Heliodorus fell suddenly unto the ground, and was 
compassed with great darkness : but they that were with him 
took him up, and put him into a litter. 

28 Thus him, that lately came with a great train and with 
all his guard into the said treasury, they carried out, being 
unable to help liiniself with his weapons : and manifestly they 
acknowledged the power of God : 

29 For he by the hand of God was cast down, and lay 
speechless M'ithout all hope of life. 

SO But they praised the Lord, that had miraculously hon- 
oured his own place : for the temple, which a little afore was 
full of fear and trouble, when the Almighty Lord appeared, 
was filled with joy and gladness. 

31 Then straightway certain of Heliodorus' friends prayed 
Onias, that he would call upon the Most High, to grant him 
his life, who lay ready to give up the ghost. 

32 So the high priest, suspecting lest the king should mis- 
conceive that some treachery had been done to Heliodorus by 
the Jews, offered a sacrifice for the health of the man. 

33 Now as the high priest was making an atonement, the 
same young nien in the same clothing appeared and stood be- 
side Heliodorus, saying, Give Onias the high priest great 
thanks, i.isomucli as for his sake the Lord hath granted thee 
life: 

34 And seeing that thou hast been scourged from heaven, 
declare imto all men the mighty power of God. And when 
they had spdcen these words, they appeared no more. 

35 So Heliodorus, after he had offered sacrifice unto the 
Lord, and made great vows unto him that had saved his life, 
and saluted Onias, returned with his host to the king. 

36 Then testified he to all men the works of the great God, 
which he had seen with his eyes. 

37 And when the king asked Heliodorus, who might be a 
fit man to be sent yet once again to Jeru.salem, he said, 

38 If thou hast any enemy or traitor, send him tliither, and 
thou shalt receive him well scourged, if he escape with his hfe : 
for in that place, no doubt, there is an especial power of God. 

39 For he that dwelleth in heaven hath his eye on that 
place, and defendeth it ; and he beateth and destroyeth them 
that come to hurt it. 

40 And the things concerning Heliodorus, and the keeping 
of the treasury, fell out on this sort.

THIS Simon now, of whom we spake afore, having been a 
bewrayer of the money, and of his country, slandered 
Onias, as if he had terrified Heliodorus, and been the worker 
of these evils.

2 Thus was he bold to call him a traitor, that had deserved 
well of the city, and tendered his own nation, and was so zeal- 
ous of the laws. ■( 

3 But when their hatred went so far, that by one of Simon's 
faction murders were committed, 

4 Onias seeing the danger of this contention, and that Apol- 
lonius, as being the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, did 
rage, and increase Simon's malace, 

5 Fie went to the king, not to be an accuser of his country- 
men, but seeking the good of all, both public and private : 

6 For lie saw that it was impossible that the state should con- 
tinue quiet, and Simon leave his folly, unless the king did look 
thereunto. 

7 But after the death of Seleucus, when Antiochus, called 
Epiphanes, took the kingdom, Jason the brother of Onias la- 
boured underhand to be high priest, 

8 Promising unto the king by intercession three hundred 
and threescore talents of silver, and of another revenue eighty 
talents : 

9 Besides this, he promised to assign a hundred and fifty 
more, if he might have license to set him up a place for ex- 
ercise, and for the training up of youth in the fashions of the 
heathen, and to write them of Jerusalem by the name of An- 
tiochians. 

10 Which when the king had granted, and he had gotten 
into his hand the rule, he forthwith brought his own nation to 
the Greekish fashion. 

11 And the royal privileges granted of special favour to the 
Jews by the means of John the father of Eupolemus, who went 
ambassador to Rome for amity and aid, he took away ; and 
putting down the governments which were according to the 
law, he brought up new customs against the law : 

12 For he built gladly a place of exercise under tTie tower 
itself, and brought the chief young men under his subjection, 
and made them wear a hat. 

13 Now such was the height of Greek fashions, and increase 
of heathenish manners, through the exceeding profaneness of 
Jason, that ungodly wretch, and not high priest ; 

14 That the priests had no courage to serve any more at the 
altar, but despising the temple, and neglecting the sacrifices, 
hastened to be partakers of the unlawful allowance in the place 
of exercise, after the game of || Discus called them fi>rth ; 

15 Not setting by the honours of their fathers, but liking the 
glory of the Grecians best of all. 

16 By reason whereof sore calamity came upon them : for 
tiiey had them to be their enemies and avengers, whose cus- 
tom they followed so earnestly, and unto whom they desired to 
be like in all things. 

17 For it is not a hght thing to do wickedly against the laws 
of God : but the time following shall declare these things. 

18 Now when the game that was used every fifth year was 
kept at Tyrus, the king being present, 

19 This ungracious Jason sent t special messengers from Je- 
rusalem, who were Antiochians, to carry three hundred 
drachms of silver to the sacrifice of Hercules, which even the 
bearers thereof thought fit not to bestow upon the sacrifice, be- *'"»o''<""a- 
cause it was not convenient, but to be reserved for other charges. 

20 This money then, in regard of the sender, was appointed 
to Hercules' sacrifice ; but because of the bearers thereof, it 
was employed to the making of galleys. 

21 Now when Apollonius the son of Menestheus was sent in- 
to Egypt for the || coronation of king Ptolemeus Philometor, II Or, en- 
Antiochus, understanding him not to be well-affected to his * ™""'"* 
affairs, provided for his own safety : whereupon he came to eir. its. 
Joppe, and from thence to Jerusalem : 

22 Where he was honourably received of Jason, and of the 
city, and was brought in with torch-light, and with great shout- 

\ ings : and so afterward went with his host unto Phenice. 
> 23 Three years afterward Jason sent Menelaus, the afore- 
\ said Simon's brother, to bear the money unto the king, and to 
5 put him in mind of certain necessary matters. 
\ 24 But he being brought to the presence of the king, when 
I he had magnified him for the glorious appearance of his power, 
I got the priesthood to himself, offering more than Jason by three 
hundred talents of silver. 

25 So he came with the king's mandate, bringing nothing 
worthy the high priesthood, but having the fury of a cruel 
tyrant, and the rage of a savage beast. 

26 Then Jason, who had undermined his own brother, be- 
ing undermined by another, was compelled to flee into ths 

i country of the Ammonites.

BOUT the same time Antiochus prepared his second voy- 
age into Egypt : 
2 And then it happened, that through all the city, for the 
5 space almost of forty days, there were seen horsemen runnint^ 
\ in the air, in cloth of gold, and armed with lances, like a band 
\ of soldiers, 

> 3 And troops of horsemen in array, encountering and run- 
\ ning one against another, with shaking of shields, and multi- 
5 tude of II pikes, and drawing of swords, and casting of darts, 
i and glittering of golden ornaments, and harness of all sorts. 
\ 4 Wherefore every man prayed that that apparition might 



gave some of them to Andronicus, and some he sold into Tyrus \ 
and the cities round about. 

33 Which when Onias knew of a surety, he reproved him, 
and withdrew himself into a sanctuary at Daphne, that lieth 
by Antiochia. 

34 Wherefore Menelaus, taking Andronicus apart, prayed 
him to get Onias into his hands ; who being persuaded there- 
unto, and coming to Onias in deceit, gave him his right hand 
with oaths ; and though he were suspected by him, yet per- 
suaded he him to come forth of the sanctuary : whom forth- 
with he shut up without regard of justice. 

35 For the which cause not only the Jews, but many also 
of other nations, took great indignation, and were much griev- 
ed for the unjust murder of tlie man. 

36 And when the king was come again from the places 
about Cilicia, the Jews that were in the city, and certain of the 
Greeks that abhorred the fact also, complained because Onias 
was slain without cause. 

37 Therefore Antiochus was heartily sorry, and moved to 
pity, and wept, because of the sober and modest behaviour of 
nim that was dead. 

38 And being kindled with anger, forthwith he took away 
Andronicus his purple, and rent off his clothes, and leading 
him through the whole city unto that very place where he had 
committed impiety against Onias, there slew he the cursed 
murderer. Thus the Lord rewarded him his punishment, as 
he had deserved. 

39 Now when many sacrileges had been committed in the 
city by Lysimachus with the consent of Menelaus, and the 
bruit thereof was spread abroad, the multitude gathered them- 
selves together against Lysimachus, many vessels of gold be- 
ing already carried away. 

40 Whereupon the common people rising, and being filled 
with rage, Lysimachus armed about three thousand men, and 
began first to offer violence ; one || Auranus being the leader, 
a man far gone in years, and no less in folly. 

41 They then seeing the attempt of Lysimachus, some of 
them caught stones, some clubs, others taking handfuls of dust, 
that was next at hand, cast them all together upon Lysima- 
chus, and those that set upon them. 

42 Thus many of them they wounded, and some they struck 
to the ground, and all o/if/«e?M they forced to fiee ; but as for 
the church-robber himself, him they killed beside the treasury. 

43 Of these matters therefore there was an accusation laid 
against Menelaus. 

44 Now when the king came to Tyrus, three men that were 
sent from the senate pleaded the cause before him : 

45 But Menelaus, being now convicted, promised Ptolemee 
the son of Dor>^nenes, to give him much money, if he would 
pacify the king toward him. 

46 Whereupon Ptolemee taking the king aside into a cer- 
tain gallery, as it were to take the air, brought him to be of 
another mind : 

47 Insomuch that he discharged Menelaus from the accusa- 
tions, who notwhhstanding was cause of all the mischief: and 
those poor men, who, if they had told their cause, yea, before 
the Scythians, should have been judged innocent, them he 
condemned to death. 

48 Thus they that followed the matter for the city, and for 
the people, and for the holy vessels, did soon suffer unjust \ 
punishment. | 

49 Wherefore even they of Tyrus, moved with hatred of \ 
that wicked deed, caused them to be honourably buried. | 

50 And so, through the covetousness of them that were of > 
power, Menelaus remained still in authority, increasing in \ 
malice, and being a great traitor to the citizens. \ 




II Or, 
staves. 



5 Now when there was gone forth a false rumour, as though 
Antiochus had been dead, Jason took at the least a thousand 
men, and suddenly made an assault upon the city ; and they 
that were upon the walls being put back, and the city at length 
taken, Menelaus fled into the castle : 

6 But Jason slew his own citizens v/ithout mercy, not con 
sidering that to get the day of them of his own nation would be 
a most unhappy day for him ; but thinking they had been his 
enemies, and not his countrymen, whom he conquered. 

7 Howbeit, for all this he obtained not the principality, but 
I at the last received shame for the reward of his treason, and 
J fled again into the country of the Ammonites. 

8 In the end therefore he had an unhappy return, being ac- 
cused before Aretas the king of the Arabians, fleeing from city 
to city, pursued of all men, hated as a forsaker of the laws, and 
being had in abomination as an open || enemy of his countiy 
and countrymen, he was cast out into Egypt. 

9 Thus he that had driven many out of their country, perish- 
ed in a strange land, retiring to the Lacedemonians, and think- 
ing there to find succour by reason of his kindred : 

10 And he that had cast out many unburied had none to 
mourn for him, nor any solemn funerals at all, nor sepulchre 
with his fathers. 

11 Now when this that was done came to the king's ear, he 
thought that Judea had revolted : whereupon removing out of 
Egypt in a furious mind, he took the city by force of arms, 

12 And commanded his men of war not to spare such as 
they met, and to slay such as went up upon the houses. 

13 Thus there was killing of young and old, making away 
of men, women, and children, slaying of virgins and infants. 

14 And there were destroyed within three whole days four- 
score thousand, whereof forty thousand were slain in the con- 
flict ; and no fewer sold than slain. 

15 Yet was he not content with tiiis, but presumed to go in- 
to the most holy temple of all the world ; Menelaus, that trai- 
tor to the laws, and to his own country, being his guide : 

1 6 And taking the holy vessels with polluted hands, and 
with profane hands pulling down the things that were dedi- 
cated by other kings to the augmentation and glory and hon- 
our of the place, he gave them away. 

17 And so haughty was Antiochus in mind, that he con- 
sidered not that the Lord was angry for a while for the sins ol 
them that dwelt in the city, and therefore his eye was not up- 
on the place. 

18 For had they not been formerly wrapped in many sins, 
this man, as soon as he had come, had forthwith been scourg- 
ed, and put back from his presumption, as Heliodorus was, 
whom Seleucus the king sent to view the treasury. 

19 Nevertheless, God did not choose the people for the 
place's sake, but the place for the people's sake. 

20 And therefore the place itself, that was partaker with 
them of the adversity that happened to the nation, did after- 
ward communicate in the benefits sent from the Lord : and as 
it was forsaken in the wrath of the Almighty, so again, the 
great Lord being reconciled, it was set up with all glory. 

21 So when Antiochus had carried out of the temple a thou- 
sand and eight hundred talents, he departed in all haste unto 
Antiochia, weening in his pride to make the land navigable, 
and the sea passable by foot : such was the haughtiness of his 
mind. 

22 And he left governors to vex the nation : at Jerusalem, 
Philip, for his country a Phrygian, and for manners more bar- 
barous than he that set him there ; 

23 And at Garizim, Andronicus ; and besides, Menelaus, 
who worse than all the rest, bare a heavy hand over the citizens, 
having a malicious mind against his countrymen the Jews.

an army of two and twenty thousand, commanding him to slay 
all those that were in their best age, and to sell the women and 
the j'onnger sort : 

25 Who coming to Jerusalem, and pretending peace, did for- 
bear till the holy day of the sabbath, when taking the Jews 
keeping holy day, he commanded his men to arm themselves. 

26 And so he slew all them that were gone to the celebrating 
of the sabbath, and running through the city with weapons 
slew great multitudes. 

27 But Judas Maccabeus t with nine others, or thereabout, 
withdrew himself into the wilderness, and lived in the moun- 
tains after the manner of beasts, with his companj^, who fed on 
herbs continually, lest they should be partakers of the pollution. : 

CHAPTER VI. 

1 Tlie Jews are compelled to leave the law of God....4 The temple is defiled....8 Cruelty upon 

the people and the women 12 An exhortation to hear alllictiou by the example of 

the vnliant couraf^e of Eleazar, who is cruelly toi'tured. 

NOT long after this the king sent an old man of || Athens to 
compel the Jews to depart from the Ium'S of their fathers, 
and not to live after the laws of God : 

2 And to pollute also the temple in Jerusalem, and to call it : 
the temple of Jupiter Olympius ; and that in Garizim, of Jupi- 
ter the Defender of strangers, || as they did desire that dwelt in 
the place. 

3 The coming in of this mischief was sore and grievous to 
the people : 

4 For the temple was filled with riot and revelling by the 
Gentiles, who dallied with harlots, and had to do with women 
within tlie circuit of the holy places, and besides that brought 
in things thai were not lawful. ; 

5 The altar also was filled with profane things, which the ; 
law forbiddeth. | 

6 Neither was it lawful for a man to keep sabbath-days or ; 
ancient feasts, or to profess himself at all to be a Jew. 

7 And in the day of the king's birth, every month they! 
were brought by bitter constraint to eat of the sacrifices ; and 
when the feast of Bacchus was kept, the Jev/s were compelled 
to go in procession to Bacchus, carrying ivy. 

8 Moreover, there went out a decree to the neighbour cities of ; 
the t heathen, by the suggestion of Ptolemee, against the Jews, 
that they should observe the same fashions, and be partakers 
of their sacrifices : 

9 And whoso would not conform themselves to the man- 
ners of the Gentiles should be put to death. Then might a 
man have seen the present misery. 

10 For there were two women brought, who had circum- 
cised their children ; whom when they had openly led round 
about the city, the babes hanging at their breasts, they cast 
them down headlong from the wall. 

11 And others, that had run together into caves near by, 
to keep the sabbath-day secretly, being discovered to Philip, 
were all burnt together, because they made a conscience to 
help themselves for the honour of the most sacred day. 

12 Now I beseech those that read this book, that they be 
not discouraged for these calamities, but that they judge those 
punishments not to be for destruction, but for a chastening of! 
our nation. 

13 For it is a token of his great goodness, when wicked 
doers are not suffered any long time, but forthwith punished. 

14 For not as with other nations, whom the Lord patiently 
forbeareth to punish, till they be come to the fulness of their 
sins, so dealeth he with us, 

15 Lest that, being come to the height of sin, afterward he 
should take vengeance of us. 

16 And therefore he never withdraweth his mercy from us : 
and though he punish with adversity, yet doth he never for- 
sake his people. 

17 But let this that we have spoken be for a warning unto 
us. And now will we come to the declaring of the matter in 
kw words. 

18 Eleazar, one of the principal scribes, an aged man, and 
of a well-favoured countenance, was constrained to open his 
mouth, and to eat swine's flesh. 

19 But he, choosing rather to die gloriously, than to live ^ 
stained with such an abomination, spit it forth, and came of j 
liis own accord to the torment, 

20 As it behoved them to come, that are resolute to stand 
out against such things as are not lawful for love of life to be 
tasted. 

21 But they that had the charge of that wicked feast, for the 
old acquaintance they had with the man, taking kira aside, be- \ garded the pains 




nor, 

or, pri^« 



lawi'ul for him to use, and make as if he did eat of the flesh 
taken from the sacrifice commanded by the king ; 

22 That in so doing he might be delivered from death, and 
for the old friendship with them find favour. 

23 But he began to consider discreetly, and as became his 
age, and the excellency of his ancient years, and the honour 
of his grey head, whereunto he was come, and his most honest 
education from a child, or rather the holy law made and given 
by God : therefore he answered accordingly, and willed them 
sfraightways to send him to the grave. 

24 For it becometh not our age, said he, in any wise to dis- 
semble, whereby many young persons might think that Elea- 
zar, being fourscore years old and ten, were now gone to a 
strange religion. 

25 And so they, through mine hypocrisy, and desire to live 
a little time, and a moment longer, should be deceived by me, 
and I get a stain to mine old age, and make it abominable. 

26 For though for the present time I should be delivered 
from the punishment of men : yet should I not escape the hand 
of the Almightj^, neither alive, nor dead. 

27 Wherefore now, manfully changing this life, I will shew 
myself such an one as mine age requireth, 

28 And leave a notable example to such as be young, to die 
willingly and courageously for the honourable and holy laws. 
And when he had said these words, immediately he went to the 
torment : 

29 They that led him changing the good will they bare him 
a little belbre into hatred, because the aforesaid speeches pro- 
ceeded, as they thought, from || a desperate mind. 

30 But when he was ready to die with stripes, he groaned, 
and said. It is manifest unto the Lord, that hath the holy knowl- 
edge, that whereas I might have been delivered from death, I 
noio endure sore pains in body by being beaten : but in soul 
am well content to suffer these things, because I fear him. 

31 And thus this man died, leaving his death for an example 
of a noble courage, and a memorial of virtue, not only unto 
young men, but unto all his nation. 

CHAPTER VIL 

The constancy and cruel death of seven brethren and their mother in one day, becauM 
they would not eat swine's flesh at the king's commandment. 

IT came to pass also, that seven brethren with their mother 
were taken, and compelled by the king against the law to 
taste swine's flesh, and were tormented with scourges and whips. 

2 But one of them that spake first said thus. What wouldest 
thou ask or learn of us ? we are ready to die, rather than to 
transgress the laws of our fathers. 

3 Then the king, being in a rage, commanded pans and cal- 
drons to be made hot : 

4 Which forthwith being heated, he commanded to cut out 
the tongue of him that spake first, and to cut ofl'the utmost parts 
of his body, the rest of his brethren and his mother looking on. 

5 Now when he was thus maimed in all his members, he 
commanded him being yet alive to be brought to the fire, and 
to be fried in the pan : and as the vapour of the pan was for a 
good space dispersed, they exhorted one another with the 
mother to die manfully, saying thus, 

6 The Lord God looketh upon us, and in truth hath comfort 
in us, as ^ Moses in his song, which witnessed to their faces, a De«u. as 
declared, saying. And he shall be comforted in his servants. ^ 

7 So when the first was dead after this manner, they brought 
the second to make him a mocking-stock : and when they had 
pulled off the skin of his head with the hair, they asked him, 
Wilt thou eat, before thou be punished throughout every mem- 
ber of thy body ? 

8 But he answered in his own language, and said. No. 
Wherefore he also received the next torment in order, as the 
former did. 

9 And when he was at the last gasp, he said. Thou like a 
fury takest us out of this present life, but the King of the world 
shall raise us up, who have died for his laws, unto everlasting 
life. 

10 After him was the third made a mocking-stock : and when 
he was required, he put out his tongue, and that right soon, 
holding forth his hands manfully, 

1 1 And said courageously. These I had from heaven ; and 
for his laws I despise them ; and from him I hope to receive 
them again. 

12 Insomuch that the king, and they that were with him, 
marvelled at the young man's courage, for that he nothing re»

ing put to death by men, to look for hope from God to be rais 
ed up again by him : as for thee, thou shalt have no resurrec- 
tion to life. 

15 Afterward they brought the fifth also, and mangled hnn. 

16 Then looked he unto the king, and said. Thou hast pow- 
er over men, thou art corruptible, thou doest what thou wilt ; 
yet think not that our nation is forsaken of God ; 

17 But abide awhile, and behold his great power, how he will 
torment thee and thy seed. 

18 After him also they brought the sixth, who, being ready 
to die, said. Be not deceived without cause : for we suffer these 
things for ourselves, having sinned against our God : therefore 
marvellous things are done tinto us. 

19 But think not thou, that takest in hand to strive against 
God, that thou shalt escape unpunished. 

20 But the mother was marvellous above all, and worthy of 
honourable memory : for when she saw her seven sons slain 
within the space of one day, she bare it with a good courage, 
because of the hope that she had in the Lord. 

21 Yea, she exhorted every one of them in her own lan- 
guage, fdled with courageous spirits ; and stirring up her wo- 
manish thoughts with a manly stomach, she said unto them^ 

22 I cannot tell how ye came into my womb ; for I neither 
gave you breath nor life, nehher was it I that formed the mem- 
bers of every one of you ; 

23 But doubtless the Creator of the world, who formed the 
generation of man, and found out the beginning of all things, 
will also of his own mercy give you breath and life again, as 
ye now regard not your ownselves for his laws' sake. 

24 Now Antiochus, thinking himself despised, and suspect- 
ing it to be a reproachful speech, whilst the youngest was yet 

alive, did not only exhort him by words, but also assured him . „„ „.„„ ^ ^„^, ,„^ ^^ „.

25 But when the young man would in no case hearken unto \ thousand of all nations under him, to root out the whole gene- 
him, the king called his mother, and exhorted her that she | ration of the Jews ; and with him he joined also Gorgias a 



41 Last of all, after the sons, the mother died. 

42 Let this be enough now to have spoken concerning the 
idolatrous feasts, and the extreme tortures. 

CHAPTER VIII. 

1 Judas gathereth an liost....9 Nicanor is sent against h'm : who presumeth to make 

much money of his prisoners 16 Judas encourageth his men, and putletii Nicanor 

to flight, and dividetb the spoils 30 Other enemies are also defe;UP(i, and Nicanor 

fleeth with grief to Antioch. 

THEN Judas Maccabeus, and they that were with him, went 
privily into the towns, and called their kinsfolk togetlier, 
and took unto them all such as continued in the Jews' religion, 
and assembled about six thousand men. 

2 And they called upon the Lord, that he would look upon 
the people that was trodden down of all ; and also pity the 
temple profaned of ungodly men ; 

3 And that he would have compassion upon the city, sore 
defaced, and ready to be made even with the ground ; and hear 
the blood that cried unto him, 

4 And remember the wicked slaughter of harmless infants, 
and the blasphemies committed against his name ; and that he 
would shew his hatred against the wicked. 

5 Now when Maccabeus had his company about him, he 
could not be withstood by the heathen : for the wrath of the 
Lord was turned into mercy. 

6 Therefore he came at unawares, and burned up towns and 
cities, and got into his hands the most commodious places, and 
overcame and put to flight no small number of his enemies. 

7 But specially took he advantage of the night for sucn 
privy attempts, insomuch that the bruit of his manliness was 
spread every where. 

8 So when Philip saw that this man increased by little and 
little, and that things prospered with him still more and more, 
he wrote unto Ptolemeus, the governor of Celosyria and Phe- 



would counsel the young man to save his life. 

26 And when he had exhorted her with many words, she 
promised him that she would counsel her son. \ 

27 But she bowing herself toward him, laughing the cruel | 
tyrant to scorn, spake in her country language on this manner ; ; 

my son, have pity upon me that bare thee nine months in | 
my womb, and gave thee suck three years, and nourished thee, \ 
and brought thee up unto this age, and endured the troubles of J 
education. | 

28 I beseech thee, my son, look upon the heaven and the 5 
earth, and all that is therein, and consider that God made them 5 

01 things that were not ; and so was mankind made likewise, j 

29 Fear not this tormentor, but, being worthy of thy brethren, 
take thy death, that I may receive thee again in -mercy with 
thy brethren. ■' 

30 While she was yet speaking these words, the young man 
said. Whom wait ye for ? I will not obey the king's command- 
ment : but T will obey the commandment of the law that was 
given unto our fathers by Moses. 

31 And thou, that hast been the author of all mischief 
against the Hebrews, shalt not escape the hands of God. 

32 For we suffer because of our sins. 

33 And though the living Lord be angry with us a little 
while for our chastening and correction, yet shall he be at one 
again with his servants. 

34 But thou, O godless man, and of all other most wicked, 
be not lifted up without a cause, nor puffed up with uncertain 
hopes, lifting up thy hand against the servants of God : 

35 For thou hast not yet escaped the judgment of Almighty 
God, who seeth all things. 

36 For our brethren, who now have suffered a short pain, 
are dead under God's covenant of everlasting life : but thou, 
through the judgment of God, shalt receive just punishment for 
thy pride. 

37 But I, as my brethren, offer up my body and life for the 
laws of our fathers, beseeching God that he would speedily be 
merciful unto our nation ; and that thou by torments and 
plagues mayest confess, that he alone is God ; 

38 And that in me and my brethren the wrath of the Al- \ 
mighty, which is justly brought upon all our nation, may cease. \ 

39 Then the king, being in a rage, handled him worse than \ 



captain, who in matters of war had great experience. 

10 So Nicanor undertook to make so much money of the 
captive Jews, as should defray the tribute of two thousand tal- 
ents, which the king was to i)ay to the Romans. 

11 Wherefore immediately he sent to the cities upon the 
sea-coast, proclaiming a sale of the captive Jews, and promising 
that they should have fourscore and ten bodies for one talent ; 
not expecting the vengeance that was to follow upon him from 
the Almighty God. 

12 Now when word was brought unto Judas of Nicanor's 
coming, and he had imparted unto those that were with him 
that the army was at hand, 

13 They that were feraful, anddisti'usted the justice of God, 
fled, and conveyed themselves away. 

14 Others sold all that they had left, and withal besought the 
Lord to deliver them, being sold by the wicked Nicanor be- 
fore they met together : 

15 And if not for their own sakes, yet for the covenants he 
had made with their fathers, and for his holy and glorious 
name's sake, by which they were called. 

16 So Maccabeus called his men together, unto the nLiinber 
of six thousand, and exhorted them not to be stricken with ter- 
ror of the enemy, nor to fear the great multitude of the heathen, 
who came wrongfully against them ; but to fight manfully, 

17 And to set before their eyes the injury that they had un- 
justly done to the holy place, and the cruel handling of the city, 
whereof they made a mockery, and also the taking away of the 
government of their forefathers : 

18 For they, said he, trust in their weapons and boldness ; 
but our confidence is in the Almighty God, who at a beck can 
cast down both them that come against us, and also all the world. 

19 Moreover, he recounted unto them what helps their fore- 
fathers had found, and how they were delivered, when under 
Sennacherib a hundred fourscore and five thousand perished. 

20 And he told them of the battle that they had in Babylon 
with the Galatians, how they came but eight thousand in all to 
the business, with four thousand Macedonians, and that the 
Macedonians being perplexed, the eight thousand destroyed a 
hundred and twenty thousand, because of the help that they 
had from heaven, and so received a great booty 

21 Thus when he had made them bold with these words, and

when he had given them this watchword. The help of God ; I on the ground, and carried in a horse-litter, shewing forth unto

24 And by the help of the Almighty they slew above nine I 9 So that the worms rose up out of the body of this wicked

part of Nicanor's host, and so put all to flight ; j and the filthiness of his smell was noisome to all his army. 

25 And took their money that came to buy them, and per-5 
suaded them far : but lacking time they returned : 

26 For it was the day before the sabbath, and therefore they 
would no longer pursue them. | 

27 So when they had gathered || their armour together, and> 
spoiled their enemies, they occupied themselves about the sab- J 
bath, yielding exceeding praise and thanks to the Lord, who 5 
had preserved them unto that day, which was the beginning of | 
mercy distilling upon them. \ 

28 And after the sabbath, when they had given part of the > 
spoils to the || maimed, and the widows, and orphans, the resi-J 
due ihey divided among themselves and their servants. 5 

29 When this was done, and they had made a common sup-j 
plication, they besought the merciful Lord to be reconciled with 
his sei'vants for ever. 

30 Moreover, of those that were with Timotheus and Bac- 
chides, who fought against them, they slew above twenty thou- 
sand, and very easily got high and strong holds, and divided 
among themselves many spoils more, and made the || maimed, 
orphans, widows, yea, and the aged also, equal in spoils with 
themselves. 

31 And when they had gathered their armour together, they 
laid them up all carefully in convenient places, and the rem- 
nant of the spoils they brought to Jerusalem. 

32 They slew also Philarches that wicked person, who was 
with Timotheus, and had annoyed the Jews many ways. 

33 Furthermore, at such time as they kept the feast for the 
victory in their country, they burnt Callisthenes, that had set 
fire upon the holy gates, who had fled into a little house ; and 
so he received a reward meet for his wickedness. 

34 As for that most ungracious Nicanor, who had brought a 
thousand merchants to buy the Jews, 

35 He was, through the help of the Lord, brought down by 
them of whom he made least account ; and putting off his glori- 
ous apparel, and discharging his company, he came like a fugi- 
tive servant through the midland unto Antioch, having very 
great dishonour, for that his host was destroyed. 

36 Thus he, that took upon him to make good to the Ro- 
mans their tribute by means of the captives in Jerusalem, told 
abroad, that the Jews had God to fight for them, and therefore 
they could not be hurt, because they followed the laws that he 
gave them. 

CHAPTER IX. 

2 AntiocUus is cUased from Persepolis 5 He is stricken with a sore disease, and promi- 

setli to become a Jew 28 He dieth miserably. 

ABOUT that time came Antiochus || with dishonour out of 
the country of Persia. l 

2 For he had entered the city called Persepolis, and went I 
about to rob the temple, and to hold the city ; whereupon the 5 
multitude, running to defend themselves with their weapons, 
put them to flight ; and so it happened, that Antiochus, being 
put to flight of the inhabitants, returned with shame. ^ 

3 Now when he came to Ecbatane, news was brought him 
what had happened unto Nicanor and Timotheus. 

4 Then swelhng with anger, he thought to avenge upon the 
Jews ttie disgrace done unto him by those that made him flee. 
Therefore commanded he his chariot-man to drive without ceas- 
ing, and to despatch the journey, the judgment of God now fol- 
lowing him. For he had spoken proudly in this sort, That he 
would come to Jerusalem, and make it a common burying-place 
of the Jews. 

5 But the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, smote him with 
an incurable and invisible plague : for as soon as he had spoken 
these words, a pain of the bowels that was remediless came 
upon him, and sore torments of the inner parts ; 

6 And that most justly : for he had tormented other men's 
bowels with many and strange torments. 

7 Howbeit, he nothing at all ceased from his bragging, but 
and was filled with pride, breathing out fire in his rage against 
the Jews, and commanding to haste the journey : but it came 



DOr, 



rmy. 

10 And the man, that thought a little afore he could reach 
I to the stars of heaven, no man could endure to carry for his in- 
i tolerable stink. 

I 11 Here therefore being plagued, he began to leave ofl" his 
great pride, and to come to the knowledge of himself by the 
scourge of God, his pain increasing every moment. 

12 And when he himself could not abide his own smell, he 
said these words. It is meet to be subject unto God, and that a 
man that is mortal should not proudly think of himself, as if 
he were God. 

13 This wicked person vowed also unto the Lord (who now 
no more would have mercy upon him) saying thus, 

14 That the holy city (to the which he was going in haste to 
lay it even with the ground, and to make it a common burying- 
place,) he would set at liberty : 

15 And as touching the Jews, whom he had judged not wor- 
thy to be so much as buried, but to be cast out with their chil- 
dren to be devoured of the fowls and wild beasts, he would 
make them all equals with the citizens of || Athens : |_ 

16 And the holy temple, which before he had spoiled, he ^Ji*Voei» 
would garnish with goodly gifts, and restore all the holy ves- 
sels with many more, and out of his own revenue defray the 
charges belonging to the sacrifices : 

17 Yea, and that also he would become a Jew himself, and 
go through all the world that was inhabhed, and declare the 
power of God. 

18 But for all this his pains would not cease : for the just 
judgment of God was come upon him : therefore despairing of 
his health, he wrote unto the Jews the letters underwritten, 
containing the form of a supplication, after this manner : 

19 Antiochus, king and governor, to the good Jews his citi- 
zens, wisheth much joy, health, and prosperity : 

20 If ye and your children fare well, and your affairs be to 
your contentment, I give very great thanks to God, having ray 
hope in heaven. 

21 As for me, I was weak, or else I would have remember- 
ed kindly your honour and good will. Returning out of Per- 
sia, and being taken with a grievous disease, I thought it neces- 
sary to care for the common safety of all : 

22 Not distrusting my health, but having great hope to es- 
cape this sickness. 

23 But considering that even my father, at what time he led 
an army intOj;the high countries, appointed a successor, 

24 To the t;nd that, if any thing fell out contrary to expect- 
ation, or if any tidings were brought that were grievous, they 
of the land, knowing to whom jj the state was left, might not 
be troubled : 

25 Again, considering how that the princes, that are border- 
ers and neighbours unto my kingdom wait for opportunities, 
and expect what shall be the event, I have appointed my .son 
Antiochus king, whom I often committed and commended un- 
to many of you, when 1 went up into the high provinces ; to 
whom I have written as followeth : 

26 Therefore I pray and request you to remember the bene- 
fits that I have done unto you generally, and in special, and 
that every man will be still faithful to me and my son. 

27 For I am persuaded that he, || understanding my mind, (jor./ot 
will favourablj' and graciously yield to your desires. lowing. 

28 Thus the murderer and blasphemer having suffered most 
grievously, as he entreated other men, so died he a miserable 
death in a strange country in the mountains. 

29 And Philip, that was brought up with him, carried away 
his body, who also, fearing the son of Antiochus, went into 
Egypt to Ptolemeus Philometor.

open street, and also the chapels, they pulled down. 

3 And having cleansed the temple, they made another altar, 
and striking stones they took fire out of them, and offered a 
sacrifice after two years, and set forth incense, and lights, and 
shew-bread. 

4 When that was done, they fell flat down, and besought 
the Lord that they might come no more into such troubles ; 
but if they sinned any more against him, that he himself would 
chasten them with mercy, and that they might not be delivered 
unto the blasphemous and barbarous nations. 

5 Now upon the same day that the strangers profaned the 
temple, on the very same day it was cleansed again, even the 
five and twentieth day of the same month, which is Casleu. 

6 And they kept eight days with gladness, as in the feast of 
the tabernacles, remembering that not long afore they had held 
the feast of the tabernacles, when as they wandered in the 
mountains and dens like beasts. 

7 Therefore they bare branches, and fair boughs, and palms 
also, and sang psalnTS unto him that had given them good sue- | 
cess in cleansing his place. 

8 They ordained also by a common statute and decree. That 
every year those days should be kept of the whole nation of the 
Jews. 

9 And this was the end of Antiochus, called Epiphanes. 

10 Now will we declare the acts of Antiochus Eupator, who 
was the son of this wicked man, gathering briefly the calami- 
ties of the wars. 

11 So when he was come to the crown, he set one Lysias 
over the affairs of his realm, and appointed him chief governor, 
of Celosyria and Phenice. 

12 For Ptolemeus, that was called Macron, choosing rather 
to do justice unto the Jews for the wrong that had been done 
unto them, endeavoured to continue peace with them. 

13 Whereupon being accused of the king^s friends before 
Eupator, and called traitor at every word, because he had left 
Cyprus, that Philometor had committed unto him, and depart- 
ed unto Antiochus Epiphanes, || and seeing that he was in no

;:^'tXf self and died. , ^ 

ttyasbe- 14 But when Gorgias was governor of the |J holds, he hired 
soldiers, and nourished war continually with the Jews : 

15 And therewithal the Idumeans, having gotten into their 
hands the most commodious holds, kept the Jews occupied, 
and receiving those that were banished from Jerusalem, they 
went about to nourish war. 

16 Then they that were with Maccabeus made supplication, 
and besought God that he would be their helper ; and so tliey 
ran with violence upon the strong holds of the Idumeans, 

17 And assaulting them strongly, they won the holds, and 
kept off all that fought upon the wall, and slew all that fell into 
their hands, and killed no fewer than twenty thousand. 

18 And because certain, who w re no less than nine thou-

Apocrypha. 

27 So after the prayer, they took their weapons, and went Before 
on further from the city . and when they drew near to their CHRIST 
enemies, they kept by themselves. 

28 Now the sun being newly risen, they joined both togeth- 
er ; the one part having together with their virtue, tiieir refuge 
also unto the Lord, for a || pledge of their success and victory : 
the other side making their rage leader of their battle. 

29 But when the battle waxed strong, there appeared unto 
the enemies, from heaven, five comely men upon horses, with 
bridles of gold, and two of them led the Jews, 

30 And took Maccabeus betwixt them, and covered him 
on every side with their weapons, and kept him safe, but shot 
arrows and lightnings against the enemies : so that being con- 
founded with blindness and full of trouble, they were killed. 

31 And there were slain of footmen twenty thousand and 
five hundred, and six hundred horsemen. 

32 As for Timotheus himself, he fled into a very strong hold, 
called Gazara, where Chereas was governor. 

33 But they that were with Maccabeus laid siege against the 
fortress courageously four days. 

34 And they that were within, trusting to the strength of the 
place, blasphemed exceedingly, and uttered wicked words. 

35 Nevertheless upon the fifth day, early, twenty young 
men of Maccabeus' company, inflamed with anger because of 
the blasphemies, assaulted the wall manly, and with a fierce 
courage killed all that they met withal. 

36 Others likewise ascending after them, while they were 
busied with them that were within, burned the towers, and 
kindling fires, burned the blasphemers alive ; and others broke 
open the gates, and having received in the rest of the army, 
took the city, 

37 And killed Timotheus, that was hid in a certain pit, and 
Choreas his brother, witk ApoUophanes. 

38 When this was done, they praised the Lord with psalms 
and thanksgiving, who had done so great things for Israel, and 
given them the victory.

NOT long after this, Lysias the king's t protector and 
cousin, who also managed the affairs, took sore displea- 
sure for the things that were done. 

2 And when he had gathered about fourscore thousand with 
all the hojsemen, he came against the Jews, thinking to make 
the city a habitation of the || Gentiles, 

3 And to make a gain of the temple, as of the other chapels 
of the heathen, and to set the high priesthood to sale every 
year : 

4 Not at all considering the power of God, but puffed up 
with his ten thousands of footmen, and his thousands of horse- 
men, and his fourscore elephants. 

5 So he came to Judea, and drew near to Bethsura, which

all manner of things convenient to sustain the siege, 

19 Maccabeus left Simon and Joseph, and Zaccheus also, 
and them that were with liini, who were enough to besiege 
them, and departed himself unto tho.^e places which more need- 
ed his help. 

20 Now II they that were with Simon, being led with cove- 
tousness, were persuaded for money through certain of those 
that were in the castle, and took seventy thousand drachms, 
and let some of them escape. 

21 But when it was told Maccabeus what was done, he call- 
ed the governors of the people together, and accused those 
men that they had sold their brethren for money, and set their 
enemies free to fight against them. 

22 So he slew those that were found traitors, and immedi- 
ately took the two castles. 

23 And having good success with his weapons in all things 
he took in hand, he slew in the two holds more than twenty 
thousand. 

24 Now Timotheus, whom the Jews had overcome before, 
when he had gathered a great multitude of foreign forces, and 
horses out of Asia not a few, came as though he would take 
Jewry by force of arms. 

25 But when he drew near, || they that were with Macca- 
beus turned themselves to pray unto God, and sprinkled earth 
upon their heads, and girded their loins with sackcloth, 

26 And fell down at the foot of the altar, and besought him 
a^Deut. 38, to be merciful to them, and to be '^ an enemy to their enemies, 

and an adversary to their adversaries, as the law declareth.

longs ; and he laid sore siege unto it. 

6 Now when they that || were with Maccabeus heard that 
he besieged the holds, they and all the people with lamenta- 
tion and tears besought the Lord that he would send a good 
angel to deliver Israel. 

7 Then Maccabeus himself first of all took weapons, ex- 
horting the other that they would jeopard tliemselves together 
with him to help their brethren : so they went forth togetlier 
with a willing mind. 

8 And as they were at Jerusalem, there appeared before 
them on horseback one in white clothing, shaking his armour 
of gold. 

9 Then they praised the merciful God all together, and 
^ took heart, insomuch that they were ready not only to fight 
\ with men, but witli most crue" beaists, and to pierce through 
J walls of iron. 

< 10 Thus tticy marched forward in tlieir armour, having a 
5 helper from lieaven : for the Lord was merciful unto them. 
\ 11 And giving a charge upon their enemies like lions, they 

slew eleven thousand /oo^raen, and sixteen hundred horsemen, 

and put all the other to flight. 

12 Many of them also being wounded, escaped naked ; and 
Lysias himself fled away shamefully, and so escaped. 

13 Who, as he was a man of understanding, casting with 
himself what loss he had had, and considering that the He- 
brews could not be overcome, because the Almighty God help- 
ed them, he sent unto them,

and promised that he would persuade the king that he must \ hig : but when they were gone forth into the deep, they drown- 
ed no less than two hundred of them. 

5 When Judas heard of this cruelty done unto his country- 
men, he commanded those that were with him to make them 
.•eudy. 

f) And calling upon God the righteous Judge, he came 
agai.jsi ♦hose murderers of his brethren, and burned the haven 
by night, nnd set the boats on fire, and those that fled thither 
^e slew. 

7 And when the town was shut up, he went backward, l| as 
if he would return to root out all them of the city of Joppe'. 

8 Bot when he heard that tJie Jamniles were minded to do 
in like manner unto tlie Jews tliat dwelt among them, 

9 He came upon the Jamnites also by night, and set fire on 
the iiaven and the navy, so that the light of the fire was seen 
at Jerusalem two hundred and forty furlongs off. 

10 Now when they were gone from thence nine furlongs in 
their journey toward Timotheus, no fewer than five thousand 
men on foot and five hundred horsemen of the Arabians sei 
upon him. 

11 Whereupon there was a very sore battle .' but Judas' 
side, by the help of God, gat the victory ; so that the Nomades 



needs be a friend unto them. 

15 Then Maccabeus consented to all that Lysias desired, 
being careful of the common good : and whatsoever JMaccabe- 
us wrote unto Lysias concerning the Jews, the king graiited it. 

16 For there were letters written unto the Jews from Lyjias 
to this effect : Lysias unto the people of the Jews sendeck 
greeting : 

i7 John and Absalom, who were sent from you, delivered 
me the petition subscribed, and made request for the perform- 
ance of the contents thereof. 

18 Therefore what tilings soever were meet to be reported 
to the king, I have declared them, and he hath granted as 
much as might be. 

19 If then ye will keep yourselves loyal to the state, here- 
after also will I endeavour to be a means of your good.

and the others that came from me, to commune with you.

23 Since our father is translated unto the gods, our will is, j of Arabia, being overcome, besought Judas for peace, proml 



that they that are in our realm live quietly, that every one 
may attend upon his own affairs. 

24 We understand also that the Jews would not consent to 
our father, for to be brought unto the custom of the Gentiles, 
but had rather keep their own manner of living : for the which 
cause they require of us, that we should suffer them to live af- 
ter their own laws. 

25 Wherefore our mind is, that this nation shall be in rest, 
and we have determined to restore them their temple, that 
they may live according to the customs of their forefathers. 

26 Thou shalt do well tlierefore to send unto them, and 
II grant them peace, that when they are certified of our mind, 
they may be of good comfort, and ever go cheerfully about 
their own affairs. 

27 And the letter of the king unto the nation of the Jews 
was after this manner : King Antiochus sendeth greeting unto 
the council, and the rest of the Jews : 

28 If ye fare well, we have our desire ; we are also in good 
health. 

29 Menelaus declared unto us, that your desire was to re- 
turn home, and to follow your own business : 

30 Wherefore they that will depart shall have safe conduct 
till the thirtieth day of Xanthicus with security. 

31 And the Jews shall use their own kind of meats and laws, 
as before ; and none of them any manner of ways shall be mo- 
lested for things ignorantly done. 

32 I have sent also Menelaus, that he may comfort you. 

33 Fare ye well. In the hundred forty and eighth year, and 
in the fifteenth day of the month \\ Xanthicus. 

34 The Romans also sent unto them a letter containing 
these words : Quintus Memmius and Titus Manlius || ambassa- 
dors of the Romans, send greeting unto the people of the 
Jews. 

35 Whatsoever Lysias the king's cousin hath granted, there- 
with we also are well pleased. 

36 But topching such things as he judged to be referred to 
the king, after ye have advised thereof, send one forthwith, that 
we may declare as it is convenient for you : for we are now 
going to Antioch. 

57 Therefore send some with speed, that we may know 
what is your mind. 

38 Farewell. This hundred and eight and fortieth year,

CHAPTER XH. 

1 The liing's lieutenants vex tbe Jews 3 Tliey of Joppc drown two hundred Jews. 

6 Judas is avenged upon tliem 1 1 He maketh peace with the Arabians, and talieth

WHEN these covenants were made, Lysias went unto the 
king, and the Jews were about their husbandry. 

2 But of the governors of several places, Timotheus, and 
Apollonius the son of Genneus, also Hieronymus, and Demo- 
ph on, and besides them Nicanor the governor of Cyprus, would 
not suffer them to be quiet, and live in peace. 

3 The men of Joppe also did such an ungodly deed : they 
prayed the Jews that dwelt among them to go with their wives 
and children into the boats which they had prepared^as though 
they had meant them no hurt 

4 Who accepted of it according to the common decree of the 



I Or, went 



sing both to give him cattle, and to pleasure him otherwise. 

12 Then Judas, thinking indeed that they would be profita- 
ble in many things, granted them peace : whereupon they 
shook hands, and so they || departed to their tents. 

13 He went also about to make a bridge to a certain strong 
city, which was fenced about with walls, and inhabited by peo- fiompiaca 
pie of divers countries ; and the name of it was Caspis. ^^aThlir 

14 But they that were within it put such trust in the strength families 
of the walls and provision of victuals, that they behaved them- "^ "^"*' 
selves rudely toward them that were with Judas, railing and 
blaspheming, and uttering such words as were not to be spo- 
ken. 

.15 Wherefore Judas with his company, calling upon the 
great Lord of the world, who without any rams or engines of 
war did cast down Jericho in the time of Joshua, gave a fierce 
; assault against the walls, 

> 16 And took the city by thewillofGod, andmadeunspeaka- 
l ble slaughters, insomuch that a lake two furlongs bi-oad near 
I adjoining thereunto, being filled full, was seen running with 
j blood. 

I 17 Then departed they from thence seven hundred and fifty 
I furlongs, and came to Characa unto the Jews that are called 
: Tubieni. 

'. 18 But as for Timotheus, they found him not in the places : 
for before he had despatched any thing, he departed from 
thence, having left a very strong garrison in a certain hold. 

19 Howbeit, Dositheus and Sosipater, who were of Macca- 
beus' captains, went forth, and slew those that Timotheus had 
left in the fortress, above ten thousand men. 

20 And Maccabeus ranged his army by bands, and set || them 
oyer the bands, and went against Timotheus, who had about 
him a hundred and twenty thousand men of foot, and two thou- „ . 
sand and five hundred horsemen. Jl^X'4^ 

21 Now when Timotheus had knowledge of Judas' coming, ter. 
he sent the women and children and the other baggage unto a 
fortress called Carnion : for the town was hard to besiege, and 
uneasy to come unto, by reason of the straitness of all the places. 

22 But when Judas his first band came in sight, tbe enemies, 
being smitten with fear and terror through the appearing of him 
that seeth all things, fled amain, one running this way, another 
that way, so as that they were often hurt of their own men, 
and wounded with the points of their own swords. 

23 Judas also was very earnest in pursuing them, killing 
those wicked wretches, of whom he slew about thirty thousand 
men. 

24 Moreover Timotheus himself fell into the hands of Dosi- 
theus and Sosipater, whom he besought with much craft to let 
him go with his life, because he had many of the Jews' parents, 
and the brethren of some of them, who if they had put him to 
death, should not be regarded. 

25 So when he had assured them with many words that he 
would restore them without hurt, according to the agreement, 
they let him go for the saving of their brethren. 

26 Then Maccabeus marched forth to Carnion, and to the 
temple of || Atargatis, and there he slew five and twenty thou- 
sand persons.

enemies, they won the city, and slew twenty and five thousand 
of them that were within. 

2y From thence they departed to Scythopclis, which licth six 
iiundred furlongs from Jerusalem. 

30 But when the Jews that dwelt there had testified that the 
Scythopolitans dealt lovingly with them, and entreated them 
kindly in the time of their adversity : 

3 1 They gave them thanks, desiring them to be friendly still 
unto them : and so they came to Jerusalem, the feast of the 
weeks approaching. 

32 And after the feast called Pentecost, they went forth 
against Gorgias the governor of Idumea, 

33 Who came out with three thousand men of foot, and four 
hundred horsemen. 

34 And it happened, in their fighting together, a few of the 
Jews were slain. 

35 At which time, Dositheus, one of Bacenor's company, 



6 And whosoever was condemned of sacrilege, or had com- 
mitted any other grievous crime, there did all men thrust him 
unto death. 

7 Such a death it happened that wicked man to die, not hav- 
ing so much as burial in the earth ; and that most justly : 

8 For inasmuch as he had committed many sins about the 
i altar, whose fire and ashes were holy, he received his death in 

ashes. 

9 Now the king came with a barbarous and haughty mind 
to do lar worse to the Jews, than had been done in his father's 
time. 

10 Which things when Judas perceived, he commanded the 
multitude to call upon the Lord night and day, that if ever at 
any other time, he would now also help them, being at the 
point to be put from their law, from their countiy, and from 
the holy temple : 

11 And that he would not suffer the people, that i| had even ladled a

ne would have taken that cursed man alive, a horseman of 
Thracia coming upon him || smote oft'his shoulder, so that Gor- 
gias fled unto Marisa. 

36 Now when thej' that were with Gorgias had fought long, 
and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord, that he would 
shew himself to be their helper and leader of the battle. 

37 And with that he began in his own language, and sung 
psalms with a loud voice, and rushing unawares upon Gorgias' 
men, he put them to flight. 

38 So Judas gathered his host, and came into the city Odol- 
1am. And when the seventh day came, they purified them- 
selves, as the custom was, and kept the sabbath in the same 
place. 

39 And upon the day following, || as the use had been, Judas 
and his company came to take up the bodies of them that were 
slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen in their fathers' 
graves. 

40 Now under the coats of every one that was slain they 
found things consecrated to the idols of the Jamnites, which is 
forbidden the Jews by "the law. Then every man saw that 
this was the cause wherefore they were slain. 

41 All men therefore praising the Lord, the righteous Judge, 
who had opened the things that were hid, 

42 Betook themselves unto prayer, and besought him that 
the sin committed might wholly be put out of remembrance. 
Besides, that noble Judas exhorted the people to keep them- 
selves from sin, forsomuch as they saw before their eyes the 
things tliat came to pass for the sins of those that were slain. 



12 So when they had all done this together, and besought 
the merciful Lord with weeping and fasting, and lying flat 
upon the ground three days long, Judas, having exhorted them, 
commanded they should be in a readiness. 

13 And Judas, being apart with the elders, determined, be- 
fore the king's host should enter into Judea, and get the city, to 
go forth and try the njatter injlght by the help of the Lord. 

14 So when he had committed all to the ■[ Creator of the yo.',ii'/J 
world, and exhorted his soldiers to fight manfully, even unto 
death, for the laws, the temple, the city, the country, and the 
commonwealth, he camped by Modin : 

15 And having given the watchword to them that were about 
him. Victory is of God ; with the most valiant and choice young 
men, he went into the king's tent by night, and slew in the 
camp about four thousand men, and the chiefest of the elephants, 
with all that were upon him. 

16 And at last they filled the camp with fear and tumult, 
and departed with good success. 

17 This was done in the break of the day, because the pro- 
tection of the Lord did help him. 

18 Now when the king had taken a taste of the manliness of 
the Jews, he went about to take the holds by policy, 

19 And marched toward Bethsura, which was a strong hold 
of the Jews : but he was put to flight, failed, and lost of his 
men : 

20 For Judas had conveyed unto them that were in it such 
things as were necessary. 

21 But Rhodocus, who was in the Jews' host, disclosed the

to Jerusalem to offer a sin-offering, doing therein very v/ell 
and honestly, in that he was mindful of the resurrection : 

44 For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should 
have risen again, it had been superfluous and vain to pray for \ 
the dead • 



22 The king treated with them in Bethsura the second time, 
gave his hand, took theirs, departed, fought with Judas, was 
overcome ; 

23 Heard that Philip, who was left over the affairs in Anti- 
\ och, 11 was desperately bent, confounded, entreated the Jews,

that they might be delivered from sin.

2_And with him Lysias his protector, and ruler of his affairs, 
having either of them a Grecian power, of footmen a hundred 
and ten thousand, and horsemen five thousand and three hun-

ots armed with hooks. 

_ 3 Menelaus also joined himself with them, and with great 
dissimulation encouraged Antiochus, not for the safeguard of 
the country, but because he thought to have been made gover- 
nor. 

4 But the King of kings moved Antiochus' mind against 
this wicked wretcli, and Lysias informed the king that this

kindly with the place, 

24 And accepted well of Maccabeus, made him principal 
governor from Ptolemais unto the Gerrhenians ; 

25 Came to Ptolemais : the people there were grieved for 
the covenants ; for they stormed, because they would make 
their covenants void : 

26 Lysias went up to the judgment-seat, said as much as 
could be in defence of the cause, persuaded, pacified, made 
them well-aftected, returned to Antioch. Thus it went touch- 
ing the king's coming and departing.

made an oath in this manner : If ye will not deliver me Judas 

as t a prisoner, I Will lay this temple of God even with the ^ q^

unto all 

10 For as long as Judas liveth, it is not possible that the 
state should be quiet. _ ? 

11 This was no sooner spoken of him, but others of the | 
king's friends, being maliciously set against Judas, did more 5 
incense Demetrius. < 

1-2 And forthwith calling Nicanor, who had been master of; 
the elephants, and making him governor over Judea, he sent 5 
him forth, J 

13 Commanding him to slay Judas, and to scatter them that S 
were with him, and to make Alcimus high priest of the great | 
temple. I 

14 Then the heathen, that had fled out of Judea from Judas, ? 
came to Nicanor by flocks, thinking the harm and calamities of | 
the Jews to be their welfare. J 

15 Now when the Jews heard of Nicanor's coming, and that \ 
the heathen || were up against them, they cast earth upon their 
heads, and made supplication to him that had established his 
people for ever, and who always helpeth his portion with mani- 
festation of his presence. 

16 So at the commandment of the captain they removed 
straightways from thence, and came near unto them at the town 
of Dessau. 

1 7 Now Simon, Judas' brother, had joined battle with Nica- 
nor, but was somewhat discomfited through the sudden silence 
of his enemies. 

18 Nevertheless Nicanor, hearing of the manliness of them 
that were with Judas, and the courageousness that they had to 
fight for their country, durst not try the matter by the sword. 

19 Wherefore he sent Posidonius, andTheodotus, and Mat- 
tathias, to make peace. 

20 So when they had taken long advisement thereupon, and 
the captain had made the multitude acquainted therewith, and 



it appeared that they were all of one mind, they consented to | a steep rock. 



i 35 Thou, O Lord of all things, who hast need of nothing, 
■ wast pleased that the temple of thy habitation should be among us : 

36 Therefore now, O holy Lord of all holiness, keep this 
house ever undefiled, which lately was cleansed, and stop every 
unrighteous mouth. 

37 Now was there accused unto Nicanor one Razis, one of 
the elders of Jerusalem, a lover of his countrymen, and a man 
of very good report, who for his kindness was called a father 
of the Jews. 

38 For in the former times, when they mingled not them 
selves with the Gentiles, he had been accused of Judaism, and 
did boldly jeopard Jiis body and life with all vehemency for 
the religion of the Jews. 

39 So Nicanor, willing to declare the hate that he bare unto 
the Jews, sent above five hundred men of war to take him : 

40 For he thought by taking him to do tl>e Jews much 
hurt. 

41 Now when the multitude would have taken the tower, and 
violently broken into the outer door, and bade that fire should 
be brought to burn it, he being ready to be taken on every side, 
fell upon his sword ; 

42 Choosing rather to die manfully, than to come into the 
hands of the wicked, to be abused otherwise than beseemed his 
noble birth : 

43 But missing his stroke through haste, the multitude aiso 
rushing within the doors, he ran boldly up to the woll, and cast 
himself down manfully among the thickest of them. 

44 But they quickly giving back, and a space being made, he 
fell down into the midst of the void place. 

45 Nevertheless, while there was yet breath within him, be- 
ing inflamed witii anger, he rose up ; and though his blood 
gushed out like spouts of water, and his wounds were grievous, 
yet he ran through the midst of the throng ; and standing upon 



the covenants, i 

21 And appointed a day to meet in together by themselves : i 
and when the day came, and stools were set for either of them, t 

22 Judas placed armed men ready in convenient places, lest J 
some treachery should be suddenly practised by the enemies ; | 
so they made a peaceable conference. f 

23 Now Nicanor abode in Jerusalem, and did no hurt, but 5 
sent away the people that came flocking unto him. | 

24 And he would not willingly have Judas out of his sight : 5 
for he loved the man from his heart. i 

25 He prayed him also to take a wife, and to beget children : 5 
so he married, was quiet, and || took part of this life,

26 But Alcimus, perceiving the love that was betwixt them, ? holiness above other days 



46 When as his blood was now quite gone, he plucked out 
his bowels, and taking them in both his hands, he cast them 
upon the throng, and calling upon the Lord of life and spirit to 
restore him those again, he thus died.

BUT Nicanor, hearing that Judas and his company were in 
the strong places about Samaria, resolved without any

2 Nevertheless the Jews that were compelled to go with him 
said, O destroy not so cruelly and barbarously, but give honour

and considering the covenants that were made, came to Deme- ; 
trius, and told him that Nicanor was not well affected toward ; 
the state ; for that he had ordained Judas, a traitor to his realm, | 
to be the king's successor. J 

27 Then the king being in a rage, and provoked with the 1 
accusations of the most wicked man, wrote to Nicanor, signify- ; 
ing that he was much displeased with the covenants, and com- ; 
mandmg him that he should send Maccabeus prisoner in all | 
haste unto Antioch. 



3 Then the most ungracious wretch demanded, if there were 
a Mighty One in heaven, that had commanded the sabbath-day 
to be kept, 

4 And when they said. There is in heaven a living Lord, 
and mighty, who commanded the seventh day to be kept : 

5 Then said the other. And I also am mighty upon earth, 
and I command to take arms, and to do the king's business. 
Yet he obtained not to have his wicked will done. 

6 So Nicanor in exceeding pride and haughtiness determined 



28 When this came to Nicanor's hearing, he was much con- ? to set up a public monument of his victory over Judas and them 
foujided in himself, and took it grievously that he should make i that were with him.

and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught 
against thee, 

24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go 
thy way ; first he reconciled to thy brother, and then 
come and offer thy gift. 

25 ^ Agree with thine adversary quickly, while 
thou art in the way with him ; lest at any time the ad-

parables....! 8 Tiie exposition of the parable of the sower 
24 Divers other parables, &c. 

HE same day went Jesus out of the house, I'^f^'^ 
and sat by the sea-side ' 

2 And great multitudes were gathered together, 
imto him, so that he went into a shij), and sat ; and 
the whole multitude stood on the shore. 

3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, 
saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow : 

4 And when he sowed, some seeds iell by the way 
side, and the fowls came and devoured them up. 

5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had 
not much earth ; and forthwith they sprung up, 
because they had no deepness of earth : 

6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched ; 
and because they had no root, they withered away. 

7 And some fell among thorns ; and the thorns 
sprung up, and choked them. 

8 ''But other fell into good ground, and brought 
forth fruit, some a hundred-ibld, some sixty-fold, 
some thirty-fold. 

9 "^ Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

by ship into a desert place apart : and when tiie 
people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot 
out of the cities. 

14 ^ And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multi- 
tude, and was moved with compassion toward 
them, and he healed their sick. 

15 H And when it was evening, his disciples came 
to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time 
is now past ; send the multitude away, that they may 
go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. 

16 ''But Jesus said unto them, They need not 
depart ; give ye them to eat. 

17 And they say unto him, We have here but five 
loaves, and two fishes. 

18 He said, Bring them hither to me. 

19 ' And he commanded the multitude to sit down 
on the grass ; and took the five loaves and the two 
fishes, and, looking up to heaven, he blessed, and 
brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the 
disciples to the multitude. 

20 And they did all eat, and were filled : and they 
took up of the fragments that remained twelve bask- 
ets full. 

21 And they that had eaten were about five thou- 
sand men, besides women and children. 

22 H And straightway Jesus constrained his disci- 
ples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto 
the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. 

23 ^ And when he hadsent the multitudes away, 
he went up into a mountain apart to pray : and when 
the evening was come, he was there alone. 

24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, 
tossed with waves : for the wind was contrary. 

25 ' And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus 
went unto them, walking on the sea. 

26 And when the disciples saw him walking on 
the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit ; 
and they cried out for fear. 

27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, say- 
ing, Be of good cheer ; || it is I ; be not afraid. 

28 And Peter answered him and said. Lord, if it \ 
be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 

29 And he said. Come. And when Peter was 
come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, 
to go to Jesus.

46 ""And about the ninth hour Jesus criecUvith a \ 
loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthaiii ? tliat 
is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken 
me? 

47 ' Some of them that stood there, Avheu they 
heard that, said, This man calleth for Elia^. 

48 '° And straightway one of them ran, and took 
a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a 
reed, and gave him to drink. 

49 The rest said. Let be, let us see whether Elias 
will come to save him. 

50 TI "Jesus, wh(!n he had cried again ^^'ith a loud 
voice, yielded up the ghost. 

31 "And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent 
in twain from the top to the bottom ; and the earth 
did quake, and the rocks rent ; 

52 And the graves Avere ojjcned • and many bodies 
of saints which slejjt arose, 

53 And came out of the graves after his resur- 
rection, and went into the holy city, and appeared 
unto many. 

54 P Now when the centurion and they that were 
with him watching Jesus, saw the eaithtjuake, and 
those things that were done, they feaied greatly, 
saying. Truly this A'\'as the Son of God. 

55 ''And many VAomen were there, beholding afar 
off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministermg 
unto him ; 

5Q Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary 
the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of 
Zebedee's children. 

57 1[ "^When the even was come, there came a 
rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also 
himself was Jesus' disciple: 

58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. 
Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 

59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he 
wra])ped it in a clean linen cloth, 

60 'And laid it in his own new tomb, which he 
had hewn out in the rock : and he rolled a great 
stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. 

61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the 
other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. 

62 !I Now the jiext day, that follo\ved the day 
of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees 
came together unto Pilate, 

Q>S ' Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver 
Sc'id, wliile he was yet alive. After three days I Avill 
rise again. 

64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be 
made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come 
by night and steal him away, and say unto the peo- 
ple. He is risen from the dead : so the last error shall 
be worse than the first. 

65 Pilate said unto them. Ye have a || watch: go 
your way, make it as sure as you can. 

QQ " So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, 
scaling the stone, and setting a watch.

51 And he went up unto them into the ship ; and \

X and certain of the scribes, which came from \ 

Jerusalem. 

2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat 
bread with dehled, that is to say, with unwashen, 
hands, they found fault. 

3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they 
WAsh their hands f oft, eat not, holding the tradition 
of the elders. 

4 ''And when they come from the market, except 
they wash tht;y eat not. And many other things there I 
be which they have received to hold, as the washing \ 
of cups, and pots, brazen vessels, and of tables. \ 

b Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him. Why \ 
walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of > 
the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands ? l 

6 " He answered and said unto them, Well hath i

i 47 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, 

; and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off 

I his ear.

will build another made without hands.

marvelled. i

7 ^And there was one, named Barabbas, which lay \ 
bound with them that had made insurrection with \ 
him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. \

him to do as he had ever done unto them. | 

9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that > 
I release unto you the King of the Jews ? > 

10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered I 
him for envy. 5 

11 ^ But the chief priests moved the people, that \

call the King of the Jews ? 

13 And they cried out again, Crucify him. \

ingly, Crucify him. | 

15 ° And so Pilate, willing to content the people, i

when he had scourged him, to be crucified. 5

27 1 And with him they crucify two thieves ; the 
one on his right hand, and ihe other on his left. 

28 '' And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith. 
And he was numbered with the transgressors. 

29 H'And they that passed by railed on him, wag- 
ging their heads, and saying. Ah, thou that destroyest ^'022,37 
the temple, and buildest it in three days, „ ps. 2-2,2. 

30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross. ^ ^^^2^ 

31 Likewise also the chief priests, mocking, said 
among themselves with the scribes, He saved others ; 
himself he cannot save. 

32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from 
the cross, that we may see and believe. And they 
that were crucified with him reviled him. 

33 II * And when the sixth hour was come, there trnw^r, 
was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. Luke 23, u 

34 " And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud „ p^. 2c, 1. 
voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani ? which '"*i»< z''. ^e 
is, being interi)reted. My God, my God, why hast 

thou forsaken me ? 

35 ''And some of them that stood by, when they MallVVn. 
heard it, said. Behold, he calleth Elias. 

36 ^ And one ran and filled a spunge full of vine- 
gar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, 
saying. Let alone ; let us see whether Elias will 
come to take him down. 

37 ^ And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave 
up the ghost. 

38 " And the veil of the temple was rent in twain 
from the top to the bottom. 

39 ^ And when the centurion, Avhich stood over ^^','."07;^^ 
against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the l-"^'-^' »i 
gho.st, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. 

40 '^ There were also women looking on afar off; 
among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the 
mother of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome ; 5,^,:27',S, 

41 '^ (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed iuki- 23*49! 
him, and ministered unto him ;) and many other wo- 
men which came up with him unto Jerusalem. 

42 II "^ And now when the even Avas come, because 
it was the preparation, that is, the day before the 
sabbath, 

43 Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, 
which also waited for the kingdom of God, came 
and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body 
of Jesus. 

-i4 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead ; 
and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him 
whether he had been any while dead. 

45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave 
the body to Joseph. 

46 "^ And he bought fine linen, and took him down, 
and wrapped him in the Ihien, and laid him in a sep- 
ulchre wliicit was hewn out of a rock and rolled a

CHAPTER I. i 

1 Luke's preface.. ..5 The conception of John Baptist, 26 and ; 
of Christ.... .07 The nativity and circumcision of John. 
64 The mouth of Zaoharias opened : 67 his propliecy. j 

'' "W^ OPvASjMUCH as many have taken in hand to ; 
-T set forth in order a declaration of those things '■ 
which are most surely believed among us, 

2 "Even as tlicy delivered them unto us, whiph 
from tlie beginning were eye-witnesses, and minis- 
ters of the word ; 

3 " It seemed good to me also, having had perfect 
understanding of all things from the very first, to 
write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, 

4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those 
things wher ein thou hast been instructed. 

S'l" mHERE was, in the days of Herod the 

-1- king of Judea, a certain priest named 

Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of 

the daugliters of Aaron, and her name luas Elisabeth. 

6 ° And they were both righteous before God, 
walking in all tiie commandments and ordinances of 
the Lord blameless. 

7 ^ And they had no child, because that Elisabeth 
was barren, and they both were nmo well stricken 
in years. 

8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the 
priest's office before God in the order of his course, 

9 ^ According to the custom of the priest's office, 
his lot was to burn incense when he went into the 
temple of the Lord. 

10 And t!ie whole multitude of the people were 
praying without at the time of incense. 

11'' And there apjicared unto him^ an angel of the 
Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of in- 
cense. 

12 ' And \^'hen Zacharias saw Jiim, he was troub- 
led, and fear fell upon him. 

13 ''But the angel said unto'iiim, Fear not, Zacha- 
rias : for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth 



shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name 

John. 

14 ^ And thou shalt have joy and gladness ; and 
: many shall rejoice at his birth. 

}5 '"' For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord,

27 And when he went forth to land, there met 
him out of the city a certain man which had devils

said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, 
let him hear. 

9 H " And his disciples asked him, sajnng. What 
might this parable he? 

10 '^ And he said, Unto you it is given to know the 
mysteries of the kingdom of God : but to others in 
parables ; that seeing they might not see, and hear- 
ing they might not understand. _ 

1 1 1 ^ Now the parable is this : The seed is the 
word of God. 

12 Those by the w^ay-side are they that hear; then 
Cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of 
their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 

13 '' They on the rock are they, which, when they 
hear, receive the word with joy ; and these have no 
root, which for a while believe, and in time of temp- 
tation fall away. 

14 ^ And that which fell among thorns are they, 
which, when they have heard, go forth and are 



high ? I beseech thee torment me not. 

29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to 
come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught 
him : and he was kept bound with chains and in 
fetters ; and he brake the bands, and was driven of 
the devil into the wilderness.) 

30 And Jesus asked him, saying. What is thy 
name ? And he said, || Legion : because many devils is<mtt^n 
were entered into him. Imjlt^ 

31 And they besought him that he would not 7cJ,"i."^^ 
command them to go out into the deep. 

32 And there was there a herd of many swine 
feeding on the mountain ; and they besought him 
that he would suffer them to enter into them : and he 
suffered them. 

33 Then went the devils out of the man, and en- 
tered into the swine : and the herd ran violently 
down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. 

34 When they that fed them saw what was done,

life, and bring no fruit to perfection 

15 But that on the good ground are they, which, 
in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, 
keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. 

16 II '' No man, when he hath lighted a candle, 
covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed ; 
but sctteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter 
in may see the light. 

17 ' For nothing is secret tl;at shall not be made 
manifest ; neither any thing hid that shall not be 
known and come abroad. 

18 "^ Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whoso- 
ever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath 
not, from, him shall be taken even that which he 
seemeth to have. 

19 ^'Then came to him his mother and his 
brethren, and could not come at him for the press. 

20 And it was told him by certain, which said, 
Thy mother and tiiy brethren stand without, desiring 
to see thee.

35 Then they went out to see what was done ; and 
came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the 
devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, 
clothed, and in his right mind : and they were afraid. 

36 They also which saw it told them by what 
means he that was possessed of the devils was healed. 

37 II "'Then the whole multitude of the country of '^ 
the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart 
from them ; for they were taken with great fear : and 
he went up into the ship, and returned back again. 

38 ' Now the man out of whom the devils Avere \^ * 
departed besought him that he might be with him : 

but Jesus sent him away, saying, 

39 Return to thine own house, and shew how 
great things God hath done unto thee. And he went 
his way, and published throughout the whole city 
how great things Jesus had done unto him. 

40 And it came to pass, that when Jesus Avas 
returned, the people gladly received him : for they 
were all waiting for him.

1 To avoid occasions of offence, 3 to forgive one another. 
5 The power of fuitli, &c. 
HEN said he unto the disciples, It is impossi- 
ble but that offences will come : but avo wito 
hitn through Avhom they come ! 

2 It were better for him that a millstone were 
hanged about his neck, and h(; cast into the sea, than 
that he should offend one of these little ones. 

3 II "Take heedtoyourselves : If thy brother tres- 
pass against thee, rebuke him ; and if he repent, for- 
give him. 

4 ''And if he trespass against thee seven times in a 
day, and seven times in a diiy tiu'n again to thee, 
saying, I re])ent; thou shalt forgive him. 

5 TI And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase 
our faith. 

6 ''And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain 
of mustard-seed, ye migiit say unto this sycamine- 
tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou 
l)lanted in the sea ; and it should obey you. 

7 But which of you, having a servant plowing, or 
feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he 
is come from the field. Go and sit down to meat ? 

8 And will not rather say unto him. Make ready 
wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve 
me, till I have eaten and drunken ; and after\^'ard 
thou shalt eat and drink ? 

9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the 
things that were commanded him ? I trow not. 

10 ** So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all 
those things which are commanded you, say,_We are 
unprofitable servants: we have done that which was 
our duty to do. 

1 1 H ^ And it came to pass, as he went to .Jerusa- 
lem, that ho passed through the midst of Samaria 
and Galilee. 

12 '' And as he entered into a certain village, there 
met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 

13 And they lifted up tlieir voices, and said, Jesus, 
Master, have mercy on us. 

14 s And when he saw ihem, he said unto them, 
Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came 
to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. 

1 5 And one of them, when he saw that he was heal- 
ed, turned back, and with aloud voice glorified God ; 

16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving 
him thanks : and he w;is a Samaritan. 

17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten 
cleansed .''but where are the nine ? 

1 8 There are not found that returned to give glory \ 
to God, save this stranger. : 

19 ['And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: : 
thy faith hath made thee whole. - _ i 

20 H And when he was dem^mded of the Pharisees i 
when the kingdom of God should come, he answered j 
them and said. The kingdom of God cometh not i 
with observation : ! 

21 ' Neither shall they say, Lo here ! or, Lo there! i 
for, behold, the kingdom of God is || within you. ; 

22 II And he said unto the disciples. The days will \ 
come when ye shall desire to sec one of the days of i 
the Son of man, and ye shall not see it, \ 

4E 



» 23 ^ And they shall say to you. Sec here ; or, See 
s tliere : go not alter llwm, nor follow them. 
\ 24 ' For as the lightning, that hghteneth out of the 
I one pari untler ht-aven, shineth unto the other part un- 

> der heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. 

> 25 '" But first must lie suffer many things, and be 
5 rejected of this generation. 

5 26 " And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it 
I be also in the days of the Son of man. 
i 27 They diil eat, they drank, they married wives, 
\ they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe 
\ entered into the ark, and the Hood came and destroyed 
\ them all. 

\ 28 ° Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot ; 
\ they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they 
\ planted, they builded ; 

\ 29 P 13 ut the same day that Lot went out of Sod- 
i om it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and 
j destroyed them all. 

< 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son 
Mifnum is revealed. 

\ 31 1 1nthat day, he which shall be uponthehouse- 
?top, and his stuff in the house, let him not come 
\ down to take it away : and he that is in the fieldj let 
shim likewise not return back. 
\ 32 ■" Remember Lot's wife. 
\ 33 'Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose 
\ it ; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. 
3'! M tell you. In that night there shall be two 

7nen in one bed ; the one shall be taken, the other 

shall be left. 

So Two icomen shall be grinding together ; the 

one shall be taken, and the other left. 

36 Two men shall be in the field ; the one shall 

be taken, and the other left. 
J 37 " And they answered and said imto him. Where, 
\ Lord ? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the 
\ body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together. 
\ CHAPTER XVIII. 

i 1 The importunate widow. ...9 The Pharisee and publican. 
\ 15 Children brought to Ciirist....28 Al! to be left for the 
\ gospel's sake. 

ND he spake a parable unto them to this end^ 
that men ought always to pray, and not to fiiuit : 

2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which 
feared not God, neither regarded man : 

3 And there was a widow in that city ; and she 
came unto him, saving, Avenge me of mine adversary. 

4 And he would not for a Avhile : but afterward 
he said within himself, Thoug'i I fear not God, nor 
regard man ; 

5 ^ Yet, because this widow troubleth me, I will 
avenge her, lest by her continualcoming she weary me. 

6 And the Lord said. Hear what the unjust judge 
saith. 

7 ''And shall not God avenge his own elect, which 
cry day and night unto him, though he bear long 
with them ? 

8 I tell 3'ou that he will avenge them speedily. 
Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall 
he find faith on the earth ? 

9 II ''And he spake this parable imto certain which 
trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and 
despised others : 

10 Two men went up into the temple to pray ; tue 
one a Pliarisee, and the other a publican. 

1 1.^ The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with him- 
self: Godj I thank thee tliat lam not as other men

ai-urse, let him take it^ ana likewise his scrip : and 
he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and 
buy one. 

37 ''■ For I say unto you, That this that is written 
must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reck- 
oned among the transgressors : lor the thhigs con- 
cerning me have an end. 

38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two 
swords. And he said unto them. It is enough. 

39 II " And he came out, and went, as he was 
wont, to the mount orOlives ; and his disciples also 
followed him. 

40 "And \vhen he was at the place, he said unto 
them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. 

41 " And he was withdrawn from them about a 
stone's cast, and kneeled down, and i)rayed, 

42 '^ Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove 
this cui) irom me : nevertheless not my will, but 
thine, be done. 

43 ** Andtliere appeared an angel unto him from 
heaven, strengthening him. 

44 ^ And being in an agony, he prayed more ear- 
nestly : and his sweat was as it were great drops of 
blood falliiig down to the ground. 

45 And when he rose ui) irom i)rayer, and was come 
to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, \ 

46 vVnd said imto them, Why sleei) ye ? rise and 
pray, lest ye enter into temptation. , 

47 il s And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, ; 
and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went 
before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. 

48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou 
the Son of man with a kiss.^ 

49 When they which were about him saw what 
would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we 
smite with the sword ? 

50 I '' And one of them smote the servant of the 
higli priest, and cut off his right ear. 

51 And Jesus answered and said. Suffer ye thus 
far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. 

52 ' Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and 
^\f^ 'Y/' captains of the temple, and the elders, which were 
oap-,1 ■ ^.^j-j^j, iQ \\'n\\^ Beyc come out, as against a thief, with 

swords and staves ? 

53 When I was daily with you in tlie temple,ye 
stretched forth no hands against me : but this is your 
hour, and the power of darkness. 

54 11 ^ Then took they him, and led 1dm, and 
brought him into the high i)riest's house. And Peter 
followed afar off.

52 '' The Jews therefore strove among themselves, 
saying. How can this man give us his flesh to eat ? 

53 'Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I 
say unto you. Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of 
man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 

54 '• Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, 
hath eternal life ; and I will raise him up at the last day.

drink indeed. 

56 'He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, 
dvvelleth in me, and I in him, 

57 "As the livhig Father hath sent me, and I live 
by the Father ; so he that eateth me, even he shall 
live by me. 

58 " This is that bread which came down from 
hea\'en : not as your fathers did eat manna, and are 
dead : he that eateth of this bread shall liv(3 for ever. 

59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he 
taught in Capernaum. 

60 H^Many therefore of his disciples,whenthey had 
heard Ihis, said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it ? 

61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples 
murmured at it, he said unto them. Doth this offend 
you ? 

C2 ^ What and if ye sliall see the Son of man ascend 
up where he was before ? 

63 '^ It is the Spirit that quickeneth ; the flesh 
prcfjteth nothing: the words that 1 speak unto you,

For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were 
that believed not, and who should betray him. 

65 'And he said, Therefore said I unto you. That 
no man can come unto me, except it were given unto 
him of my Father. 

66 II From that time many of his dis('jples went 
back, and walked no more u ith him. 

67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also 
go away ? 

68 'Then Simon Peter answered him. Lord, to 
whom shall we go ? thou hast the words of eternal life.

JESUS went unto the mount of Olives.

he sat down, and taught them. 

3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him 
a Avoman taken in adultery ; and when they had set

4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was 
taken in adulter}^ in the very act.

32 i[ '' The Pharisees heard that the people mur- 
nmred such things concerning him; and the Phari- 
sees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. 

33 '' Tiien said Jesus unto them. Yet a little while 
1t^^M,\i am I with you, and then 1 go unto him that sent me. 

34 '"' Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me : and 
wliere 1 am, thither ye cannot come. 

35 Then said the Jews among themselves. Whither 
will he go, that we shall not find him ? will he go 
unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach 
the Gentiles ? 

36 What manner of saying is this that he said, 
Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me : and \\here 
I am, thither ye cannot come ? 

37 H '■ In tlie last day, that great day of the feast, 
Jesus stood and cried, saying. If any man thirst, let 

iiev.22,17, jjjj^-^ come unto me, and drink. 

38 ^He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath 
said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 

39 '' (But this spake he of the Spirit, which tliey 
that believe on him should receive : for the Holy 
Gliost was not yet givc7i ; because that Jesus was 
not yet glorified.) 

40 ^ _' Many of the people therefore; when they 
heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. 

41 ^ Others said. This is the Christ. But some 
said. Shall Christ come out of Galilee ? 

42 'Hath not the scripture said. That Christ com- 
eth of the seed of David, and out of the town of: 
Bethlehem, where David was ? 

43 ■" So there was a division among the i)cople 
because of him : 

44 "x4nd some of them would have taken him ; 
but no man laid hands on him. 

45 II Then came the officers to the chief priests 
and Pharisees ; and they said unto them, Wiiy have 
ye not brought him ? 

46 The officers answered. Never man spake like 
this man. 

47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye 
also deceived ? 

48 ° Have any of the rulers, or of the Pharisees 
believed on him ? 

49 But this people, who knoweth not the ]a^^', 
are cursed. 

50 P Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came 
to Jesus by night, being one of them,) 

51 "J Doth our law judge any man before it hear 
liim, and know wiiat he doeth ? 

52 *■ They answered and said unto him. Art thou 
also of Galilee ? Search, and look : for out of Galilee 
ariseth no prophet.

to him. 

30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not ^ God, and went to God ; 
because of me, but for your sakes. ' ^ .1 m . _.!^..i j- _ 

31 " Now is the judgment of this world 
shall the prince of this world be cast out. 

32 ° And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will 
draw all men unto me. 

33 This hesaid, signifying what death heshould die. 

34 ^ The peoi)le answered iiim, We have heard 
out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how 
sayest thou. The Son of man must be lifted 
who is this Son of man ? \ 

35 "^ Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while 
is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, 
lest darkness come upon you : for he that walketh in 
darkness knoweth not whither he goetli. 

SQ While ye have light, believe in the light, that 
ye may be the children of light. These things spake 
3esus,and dei)arted, and did hide himself from them. 

37 It But though he had done so many miracles 
before them, yet they believed not on him : 

38 "■ That the saying of Esaias the projjliet might \ 
be fulfilled, which he spake. Lord, who hath believed \ 
our rejiort ? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord 
been revealed ? 

39 Therefore they could not believe, because that 
Esaias said again, 

40 ^ He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their 
heart ; that they should not see with 1 1 beir eyes, nor

4 '^ lie riseth from supper, and laid aside his gar-

i 5 After that, he poureth water into a bason, and 
f began to wash his disciples' feet, and to wipe them 
J with the towei where^vith he was girded. 
i 6 " Then cometh he to Simon Peter : and Peter 
i saith u.uto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet ? 
V \ 1 ^ Jesus answered and said unto him. What I do 
up ? \ thou knowestnot now; but thou shalt know hereafter. 

8 s Peter saith unto him. Thou shalt never M'ash 
my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, 
thou hast no part with me. 

9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet 
only, but also my hands and viy head. 

10 ''Jesus saith to hi in, He that is washed needeth 
not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit : 




: and ye are clean, but not all. 



there- 



1 1 '' For he knew who should betray him 
fore said he. Ye are not all clean. 

12 So after he had washed their feet, and had 
taken his garments, and was set down again, he said 
unto them. Know ye what I have done to you ? 

13 *" Ye call me Master, and Lord: and ye say 
well ; for 50 1 am. 

14 ' If 1 then, 2/owr Lordand Master, have washed 
your feet ; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. 

15 i'or 1 have given you an example, that ye 



understand with tJieir heart, and be converted, and I \ should do as I have done to you 



should lu.'al them. 

41 ^ These things said Esaias, when he saw his 
glory, and spake of him. 

42 II " Nevertheless among the chief rulers also 
many believed on him ; but because of the Pharisees 
tliey did not confess 1dm, lest they should be put out 
of the synagogue : 

43 ^ For they loved the praise of men more than 
the ])raisc of God. 

4'i 11 ^ Jesus cried and said, He that beliei'eth on 
mfi, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. 

45 And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me. 

46 ■' I am come a light into the world, that whoso- 
ever ])elieveth on me should not abide in darkness. 

47 '" And if any man hear my words, and believe 



16 " Verily, verily, I say unto you. The servant is 
not greater than his lord ; neither he that is sent 
greater than he that sent him. 

17 " If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do 
them, 

18 1 °I speak not of you all ; 1 know whom I have 
chosen : but that the scripture may be fulfilled,He that 
eatethbread with mehathlifted up his heel against me. 

19 Now 1 tell you before it come, that when it is 
come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. 

20 P Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiv- 
eth whomsoever I send, receiveth me ; and he that 
receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 

21 ''When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in 
spirit, and testified, and said. Verily, verily, I say un- 



not, I judge him not : for I came not to judge the jtoyou^ That one of you shall betray me.

^vorlfi, but to save the world 

48 ^ He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my 
words, hath one that judgeth him : the word that I 
have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. 

49 ''For I have not spoken of myself: but the 



22 Fhen the disciples looked one on another, 
doubting of whom he spake. 

23 ■■ Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one 
of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. 

24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that 



Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, \ he should ask who it should be of whom he spake 



25 He then, lying on Jesus' breast, saith unto 
him. Lord, w^ho is it .? 

26 Jesus |] answered, He it is to whom I shall give 
a sop when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped 
the sop, he gave z'i to Judas I scariot,i/ie son of Simon. 

27 ^ And after the sop, Satan entered into him. 
Then said Jesus unto him,Thatthoudoest,doquickly. 

28 Now no man at the table knew for what 
intent he spake this unto him. 

29 * For some of them thought, because Judas had 
oved his own which were in the world, he loved hhe bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy i/i05e 

them unto the end. \ things that we have need of against the feast ; or, 

2 ''And sui)per being ended, (the devil having 5 that he should give something to the poor.

1 8 '' And the servants and officers stood there who 
had made a fire of coals ; for it was cold 
warmed themselves : and Peter stood w 
aiid warmed himself 

19 \ The high i)vjestthen asked Jesus of his dis- 
ciples, and of his doctrine. 

20 ' Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the 
world : I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the 
temple, Mhitlier the Jews always resort; and in 
secret have 1 said nothing. 

':'>1 "> Why askest thou me ? ask them which heard 
nif^, what I have said unto them : behold, they know 
what I said, 

22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the offi- 
cers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of 
his hand, saying, Answerestthou the high priest so.^ 

23 Jesus answ'ered him, If 1 have spoken evil, bear 
witness of the evil : but if well, why smitest thou me r 

2-i " No\v Annas had sent him bound unto Caia- 
phas the high priest. 

25 ° And Simon Peter stood and v\''armed himself. 
They said therefore unto him. Art not thou also one 
of his disciples ? He denied it, and said, I am not. 

26 One of the servants of the high priest, being 
liis kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith. Did not I 
see thee in the garden with him ? 

27 Peter then denied again : and immediately the 
cock crew. 

28 II ^ Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the 
hall of judgment : and it was early: and they them- 
selves went notinto the judgment-hall, lestthey should 
be defiled, but that they might eat the passover. 

29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, 
What accusation bring you against this man ? 

30 They answered and said unto him, If he were 
not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him 
up mito thee. 

31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and 
judge him according to your law. The Jews there- 
fore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any 
man to death : 

32 1 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, 
which he spake, signifymg what death he should die. 

SS ' Then Pilate entered into the judgment-hall 
again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou 
the King of the Jews ? _ 

3-i Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing 
of thyself, or did others tell it tht^ of me ? 

35 Pilate answered. Am I a Jew ? Thine own 
nation and the chief priests liave delivered thee unto 
me . What hast thou done ? ^ 

36 ^ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this 
world : If my kingdom were of this world, then would 
my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to 
the Jews : but now is my kingdom not from hence. 

37 * Pilate tiierefore said unto him. Art thou a king 
then ? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. 
To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into 
the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. 
Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. 

38 " Pilate saith unto him, What is truth ? And

7 " The Jews answered him. We have a law, and

was the more afraid :

saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou ? But Jesus gave LtsVal 
him no answer.

to crucify thee, and have power to release thee ? 

11 ''Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no i'i.>ike2%

from above : therefore he that delivered me unto 
thee hath the greater sin. 

12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release 
him : but the Jews cried out, saying. If thou let this 
man go, thou art not Cesar's friend : whosoever 
maketh himself a king speaketh against Cesar.

being priv}' to it, and brouglit a certain part, and laid 
it at the aj)ostles' feet. 

3 ''But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled 
thy heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back 
part of the price of the land ? 

4 While it remained, was it not thine own ? and 
after it was sold, was it not in thine own power.? 
Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy hejat? 
Thou hast not litid unto men, but unto God. 

5 ""And Ananias hearing these words, fell down, 
and gave tip the ghost: and great fear came on all 
them that heard these things. 

6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and 
carried him, out, and buried him, 

7 And it was about the space of three hours aftw, 
when liis wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 

8 And Peter answered unto her. Tell me whether 
ye sold the land for so much ? And she said, Yea, 
for so much. 

9 '' Then Peter said unto her. How is it that ye 
have agreed together to temi)t the Si)irit of the Lord ? 
Behold, the feet of them which have buried thy hus- 
band arc at the door, and shall carry thee out. 

10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and 
yielded u]i the ghost • and the young men came in 
and found her dead, and carrying her forth, buried 
Aer by her husband.

signs and Avonders wrought among the peoi)le ; (and 
they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.

them : but the people magnified them. 

14 ''And believers were the more added to the 
Lord, multitudes both of men and women ;) 

15 kisomuch thr,t they brought forth the sick into 
the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that 
at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might 
overshadow some of them. 

16 There came also a multitude out of the cities 
round about unto .lerusalem, bringing sick folks, and 
them which were vexed ^^'ith unclean spirits : and 
they were healed every one. 

17 H'Then the high priest rose up, and all they 
that were with him, (which is the sect of the Saddu- 
cees,) and were fiUed with indignation, 

18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put 
them in the common prison. 

19 ""But the angel of the Lord by night opened 
the prison-doors, and brought them forth, and said, 

20 ' Go, stand and speak in the temple to the peo- 
ple all the words of this life. 

21 ""And when they heard thai, they entered into the 
temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high 
Driest came, and they that were with him, and called 
iiiecounci! together, and all the senateof the children 
of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. 

22 But when the officers came, and found them 
not in the prison, they returned, and told, 

23 " Saying, The prison truly found we shut with 
all safety, and the keepers standing without before 
the doors : but when we had opened, we found no

year they assembled themseh'es witn the church, and

Christians first in Antioch. 

27 11 "And in these days came prophets from Jeru-

CHAPTER XII. 

1 Herod persecuteth the Chrislia is ; 20 his pride, and misera- 
ble de^ah. 

OW about that time, Herod the king stretched 
forth Aw hands, to vex certain of the church, 

2 ** And he killed James the brother of John with 
the sword, 

3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he 
proceeded further to take Peter also. Then w ere 
the days of unleavened bread. 

4 ^' And when he had apprehended him, he put 
him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions 
of soldiers to keep him ; intending after Easter to 
bring him forth to the people. 

6 Peter therefore ^vas kept in prison ; but prayer was 
made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. 

6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, 
the same night Peter was sleeping between two sol- 
diers, bound with twochains : and the keepers before 
the door kept the prison. 

7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon 
him, and a light shined in the prison : and he smote 
Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying. Arise 
up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. 

9 And the angel said unto him. Gird thyseli, and 
bind on thy sandals : and so he did. And he saith 
unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. 

9 Arid he went out, and followed him ; and wist 
not that it was true x-^'hic h was done by the angel ; 
but thought he saw a vision. 

10 When the}^ w^ere past the first and the second 
ward, they cameuntothe iron gate that leadethunto 
the city, which opened to them of his own accord : 
and they went out , and passed on through one street ; 
and forthy/ith the angel departed from him. 

1 1 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, 
Now I know of a surety that the Lord hath sent his 
angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, 
and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews. 

12 "And when he had considered the thing, he 
came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose 
surname was Mark ; where many w^ere gathered to- 
gether, praying. 

13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, 
a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda. 

14 And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened ^ 
not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how j 
Peter stood before the gate.

I said they, Jt is his angel.

: had opened the door, and saw him, they were aston- 
ished. 

17 But he beckoning unto them with the hand, to 
hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord 
had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go, 
shew^ these things unto James, and to the bretliren. 
And he dejiarted, and went into another place. 

1 8 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small 
stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter. 

19 And when Herod had sougjit for him, and 
found him not, he examined the keepers, and com- 
manded that tkei/ should be put to death. And he 
went down from Judea to Cesarea, and there abode.

country was nourished by the king's country.

rel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration uutothem. 

22 And the peo])le gave a shout, saying, It is the 
voice of a god, and not of a man. 

23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote 
him, because he gave not God the glory : and he was 
eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

FTER these things, Paul departed from Athens, 
and came to Corinth: 

2 ''And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born 
in Pontus, lately came from Italy, with his wife Pris- 
cilla ; (because tiiat Claudius had commanded all 
Jews to depart from Rome ;) and came unto them. 

3 'And because he was of the same craft, he abode 
with them, and wrought: for by their occupation 
they were toit-makers. 

4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, 
and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. 

5 "And when Silas and Timotlieus were come 
from Macedon.ia, Paul w^as pressed in si)irit, and tes- 
tified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. 

6 ''And when they opi)osed themselves, andblas- 
£s»m.i,iG. phemed, he shook /i/5 raiment, and said unto them, ^ 
fy;'^li'33,'^' ^our blood he upon your own heads : I am clean : \ 

from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. 

7 1 And he departed thence, and entered into a 
certahi murrh house, named J ustus, one that worshij)- 
ped God, whose liouse joined hard to the synagogue. 

8 ''And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, 
believed on tiie Lord, with all his house : and many 
of the Corinthians h.earing, believed, and were bap- 
tized. 

9 H^Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night 
by a vision. Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not 
thy peace : 

10 « For I am with thee, and no man shall set on 
*in iS; fi thee, to hurt thee : for I have much people in this city. 

1 i And he continued there a year and six months, 
teaciiing the word of God among them.

he departed from them, and se))arated the disciples, 
disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. 

10 2 And this contiiuied by the si)ace of two years; 
so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word 
of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. 

11 ""And God wrought special miracles by the 
hands of Paul :

ci'i'ap.Vi's. adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth. 

1 4 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, 
and chief of the priests, which did so. 

15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus 
I know, and Paul I know ; but who are ye ? 

1 6 And the man in whom the evil spirit was, leaped 
on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against 
them, so that they fled out of that house naked and 
wounded. 

1 7 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks 
also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, 
and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. 

1 8 ' And many that believed, came, and confessed, 
and shewed their deeds. 

19 Many also of them which used curious arts, 
brought their books together, and burned them before

found z7 fifty thousand j^/eces of silver.

15 And after tlioso days We took up our carriages, 
and v/ent up to Jerusalem. 

16 'There went with us also certain of tlie disci- 
ples of Cesarea, and brought with them one Mnason 
ofCyprus,anolddisciple,withwhomvveshouldlodge. 

ITU And when we were come to Jerusalem, the 
brethren received us gladly. 

18 "And the day following Paul went in with us 
unto James ; and all the elders were present. 

19 "And when he had saluted them, he declared 
particularly what things God had wrought among 
the Gentiles by his ministry. 

20 "And when they heard it, they glorified the I^ord, 
and said unto him, Thou scest, brother, how many 
thousands of Jews there are which believe ; and they 
are all zealous of the law : 

21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teach- 
est all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to for- 
sake Moses, saying, That they ought not to circum- 
cise their children, neither to walk aftef the customs. 

22 What is it therefore ? the multitude must needs 
come together : for they will hear that thou art come. 

23 pDo therefore this that we say to thee: We 
have four men which have a vow on thern ; 

24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and 
be at charges with them, that they may shave their 
heads : and all may know, that those things whereof 
they were informed concerning thee, are nothing, but 
that thou thyself also Avalkest orderly, and keepest 
the law. 

25 ''As touching the Gentiles which believe, we 
have written, a7id concluded that they observe no 
such thing, save only that they keep themselves from 
things ofrercd to idols, and from blood, and from 
strangled, and from fornication. 

26 ^Then Paul took the men ; and the next day 
purifying himself with them, entered into the temple, 
to signify the accomplishment of the daj^s of purifi- 
cation, until^ that an offering should be oflered for 
ever}^ one of them. 

27 H And when the seven days were almost ended, 
the Jews which were of Asia, when they sa\y him in 
tl'c temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands 
on him, 

28 ^ Crying out, Men of Israel, help : this is the 
man that teacheth all men every where against the 
people, and the law, and this pdace ; and further. 
In ought Greeks also into the temple, and hath pol- 
luted this holy place. 

29 - (For they had seen before with him in the city, 
Trophimus, an Ephesian, whom they supposed that 
Paul had brought into the temple.) 

30 " And all the city was moved, and the people 
ran together : and they took Paul, and drew him out 
of the temple : and fortlvvvith the doors were shut. 

31 And as they^ went about to kill him, tidings 
came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jeru- 
salem was in an uproar : 

32 Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, 
and ran down unto them : and when they saw the 
chiefcaptain and the soldiers.thcy left beating of Paul. 

33 ^ Then the chief captain came near, and took 
hira,and commanded /(mto be bound with two chains; 
and demanded who he was, and what he had done. 

34 And some criedone thing, some another, among 
the multitude : and when he could not know the 
certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be

descended with the elders, and with a certain

9 And the Jews also assented, saying that these 
things were so.

oned unto him to speak, answered. Forasmuch as I 
know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto

and have license to answer for himself concerning 
the crime laid against him. 

17 Thereibre when they were come hither, with-

seat, and commanded the man to be brought tbrth ; 

18 Against whom, when the accusers stood up, 
they brought none accusation of such things as 1 
supposed : 

19 \But had certain questions against him of their

whom raul affirmed to be alive.

thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both 
almost, and altogether such as I am, except these 
bonds.

between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing

might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed 
unto Cesar. 

CHAPTER XXVII. 

1 Paul, shipping towards Rome, 10 foretelleth the danger of the 
voyage, but is not believed, &c. 
ND when it was determined that we should sail 
into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other 
prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Au- 
gustus' band. 

2 ^ And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we 
launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia ; one 
Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, 
with us. 

3 " And the next day we touched at Sidon. And 
Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave hi7n 
liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself. 

4 And when we had launched from thence, we 
sailed under Cyprus,becau_se the winds were contrary. 

5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia 
and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. 

6 And there t'le centurion found a ship of Alexan- 
dria sailing into Italy ; and he put us therein. 

7 And wiien we had sailed slowly many days, and 
scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not 
suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against 
Salmone ; 

8 And hardly passmg it, came unto a place which 



is called. The Fair Havens ; nigh whereunto was the J and let her fall off. 

• , /• T ^ act h A 1 1 •! 



13 And when the south wind blew softly, sup- 
posing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing 
thence, they sailed close b} Crete. 

14 But not long after, there arose against it f a t„^'";„°,^ 
npestuous wind, called Euroclydon. rlCi la 

15 And when the ship was, caught, and could not Eccrii!! 
bear up into the wind, we let her drive. **• '^ ^ 

16 And running under a certain island Avhich is 
called Clauda, we had much work to come by the 
boat : 

1 7 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, 
undergirding the ship; and fearing lest they should fall 
into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven. 

18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tem- 
pest, the next day they lightened the ship ; 

19 And the third day we cast out with our own 
hands the tackling of the ship. 

20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days 
appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hopo 
that we should be saved was then taken aw^ay. 

21 II But after long abstinence, Paul stood forth in 
the midst of them, and said. Sirs, ye should have 
hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, 
and to have gained this harm and loss. 

22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer : for 
there shall be no loss of any manh hfe among you, 
but of the ship. 

23 '^ For there stood by me this night the angel of aw/,' * 
God, whose I am, and whom I serve, 

24 " Saying, Fear not, Paul ; thou must be brought 
before Cesar : and, lo, God hath given thee all them 
that sail with thee. 

25 ^ Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer ; for I believe 
God, that it shall be even as it was told me. 
26 ° How^beit, we must be cast upon a certain island . ^t^X'^* 
27 But Avhen the fourteenth night was come, as 
being ? we w^re driven up and down in Adria, about mid- 
5 night the shipmen deemed that they drew near to 
s some country : 

\ 28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms : and 
\ when they had gone a little further, they sounded 
\ again, and found it fifteen fathoms. 
I 29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon 
5 ropks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and 
\ wished for the day. 

\ 30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the 
I ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, 
under colour as though they would have feast anchors |^[^ llf* 
out of the foreship, _ vs'si\\. 

31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, islss, 21. 
Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. ver!'22;ii

of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. ;

CHAPTER J. 

Paul commendetli to the Romans liis calling : l6 lie shewctli 
tliat the gospel is for the justiikiit'on of all men through 

failh. 

AUL, a servaut of Jesus Christ, called to be an 
apostle, sej)arated unto the gospel of God, 
2 ^ VVhieli he had [)vomised afore by his prophets 
in the holy scri()tures, 

3 " Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord,whieh 
was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 

4 '^ And declared to be the Son of God with power, 
according to the Spirit of holiness, l)y the resurrec- 
tion from the dead : 

5 ^ J3y whom we have received grace and apos- 
tleship lor obedience to the faith among all nations, 
for his name : 

6 x\mong whom are ye also the called of Jesus 
Christ : 

7 ' To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called 
to be saints : Grace to you, and peace, from God our 
Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 

8 ^ First, 1 thank my God through Jesus Christ 
for you all, tliat your faith is spoken of throughout 
the whole world. 

9 '' For God is my witness, whom I serve with my 
spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing 
I make mention of you always in my prayers ; 

10 'Making request, if hy any means now at 
length I might have a prosperous journey by tlie 
will of God, to come unto you. 

} 1 ^ For I lo]7g to see you, that 1 may impart unto 
you some spiritual gift, to the end )^e may be estab- 
lished :^ 

12 'That \s, that I may be comforted together 
with you by tlie mutual faith both of you and me. 

13 '^ Now 1 would not have you ignorant, breth- ; 
ren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, 
(but was let hitherto,) that I might have some iruit ; 
among you also, even as among other Gentiles. [ 

14 " I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the 
Barbarians, both to the wise and to the unw^ise. 

15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach 
the gosp(;l to you that are at Rome also. 

16 " For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: 
for it is the power of God unto salvation to every 
one that belie veth ; to the Jew /irst, and also to the 
Greek. ... - 

17'' For therein is the righteousness of God re- j 
vealed from faith to faith : as it is wi"itten, The just; 
shall live by faith. _ \ 

1 8 "^ For the wrath of God is revealed from heav- ! 
en against ail ungodliness and unrighteousness ofi 
men, who liold the truth in unrighteousness: _ i 

19 " Because that which may be known of God is ; 
manifest in them ; for God hath shewed it unto them. | 

20 ^ For the invisible things of him from the crea- \ 
tion of the world are clearly seen, being understood 1 
by the things that are made, evc7i his eternal power! 
and Godhead : so that they are without excuse : ; 
- 21 'Because that, when they knew God, theyi 
glorified him not as God, neither were thankful, but i 
became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish ; 
heart was darkened : _ \ 

22 " Professing themselves to be wise, they be- \ 
came fools, _ j 

23 " And changed the glory ot the incorruptible i 



God into an image made like to corruptible maWjand 
to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping thhigs. 

24 ^ Wherefore God also gave them uptounclean- 
ness through the lusts of Their own hearts, to dis- 
honour their own bodies between themselves: 

25 \ Who ciianged the truth of God into a lie, and 
worshipped and served the creature || more than the 
Creator, who_ is blessed for ever. Anien. 

26 "For tins cause God gave them u\) unto vil-e 
affections: for even their women did change the 
natuji-al u.^e into that which is again.st nature : 

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural 
use of tlic woman, burned in their lust one toward 
another ; men with nten working tliat which is un- 
seemly, and receiving in themselves that recomi)ense 
of their error which was meet. 

^ 28 ^ And even as they did not like to retain God hi 
their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate 
niind, to cio those things which are not convenient; 

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornica- 
tion, wicked ness,covetousness, maliciousness; full of 
envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 

30 Backbhers, haters of God, desi)itefid, proud, 
boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to pa- 
rents, 

31 Without understanding, covenant-breakers, 
without natural affection, implacabfe, unmerciful : 

32 *" Who knowing the judgment of God, that 
they which commit such things are worthy of death, 
not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that 
do them. 

CHAPTER IT. 

1 They who condemn sin in others, and do the like themselves, 
are inexcusable, whetlier Jews or Gentiles. 

^ mHEREFORE thou art hiexcusable, O man, 
-i- whosoever thou art that judgest ; for wherein 
thou judgest another, thou condemncst thyself; for 
thou that judgest, doest the same things. 

2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is 
according to truth, against them which commit such 
things. 

3 *" And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest 
them which do such things, and doest the same, that 
thou shalt escape the judgment of God ? 

4 " Or desi)isest thou the riches of his goodness, 
and forl)earance, and long-suffering ; not knowing 
that tlie goodness of God leadeth thee to repentancer 

5'^ But after thy hardness and impenitent heart, 
treasurest u\} unto thyself wrath against the day of 
wrath, and revelation of the righteous judgment of 
God ; 

6 "" Who will render to every man according to his 
deeds : 

7 To them, \vho, by patient continuance in well- 
doing, seek for glor3',and honour, and immortality; 
eternal life : 

8 ^ But unto them that are contentious, and do not 
obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness ; indigna- 
tion and wrath, 

9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man 
that doeth evi];of tlie Jew first.and also of theGent lie ; 

10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man 
that worketh good ; to the Jew first, and also to tlie 
Gentile ; 

1 1 » For there is no respect of persons with God. 

1 2 '' For as many as have sinned without law, shall

pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 

13 ' And the woman w'hich hath a husband that 
believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her,

15 "^ But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. 
A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such 
cases : but God hath called us to peace. 

16 ' For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou 
shalt save thy husband ? or how knowest thou, O 
man, whether thou shalt save thy wife ? 

17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as 
the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. 
And so ordain I in all churches. 

1 8 " Is any man called being circumcised ? let him 
not beconse uncircumcised. is any called in uncir- 
cumcision ? let him not be circumcised. 

19 "Circumcision is nothing, and unci'-cumcision 
is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of I 
God. I 

20 ° Let ev(;ry man abide iji the same calling I 
wherein ne was called. \ 

21 ^ Art thou called being a servont ? care not for \ 
it : but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. 5 

22 '• For he that is called in the Lord, bemg a ser- > 
yant, is the Lord's freeman : likewise also he that 5 
is called, being free, is Christ's servant. - s 

23 ' Ye ^are bought with a price ; be not ye the I 
servants of men. i 

24 Brethren, let every man wherein he is called, | 
therein abide with God. _ _ I 

25 ^ Now concerning virgins I have no command- l 
?s'ji'i6 2 ^''^'^"t of the Lord, yet I give my judgment, as one j 
zeph. 1 1.5 that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. ' 



32 ^But I would have you without carefulness. 
He that is unmarried careth for the things that be- 
long to the Lord, how he may please the Lord : 

33 But he that is married careth for the things that 
are of the world, how he may please his wife. 

_ 34 * There is difference also betw^een a wife and a ^o!'"''* "*• 
virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things 
of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and 
in spirit : but she that is married careth for the things 
of the Avorld, how she may please her husband. 

35 ^ And this I speak for your own prolit ; not buint.esi 
that I may cast a snare upon you, but for th;it which j:"ot4i.'t 
is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord ^'' ^■'• 
without distraction. 

36 But if any man think that he behaveih nhnself 
uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of 
her age, and need so require, let him do what he 
will, he sinneth not : let them marry. c e .i , 

37 Nevertheless he that standeth steadfast in his ^.^'""■''»' 
heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his 2Cor.G,i*. 
ovyn will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he ^iti.cs.*, 

5 will keep his virgin, doeth well. 

I 38 "^ So then, ne that giveth her in marriage doeth lifaa! '''

I better.

not come again to you in heaviness. 

2 ''For if I make you sorry, who is he then that 
maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry 
by me ?

came, I should have sorrow from them of whom 1 
ought to rejoice ; having confidence in you all, that 
my joy is thejoij of you all. 

4 "For out of much affliction and anguish of- heart 
I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should 
be grieved, but that ye might know the love which 
I have more abundantly unto you.

give him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one ; 
should be swallowed up vvith overmuch sorrow. 

8 Wherefore i beseech you, that ye would confirm ; 
your love toward him. 

9 ^ For to this end also did I write, that I might ' 
know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in 
all things. 

10 ^ To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also : 
for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for 
your snkts for gave lit in the person of Christ ;

11, 1 . 22 k Furthermore, when 1 came to Troas to preach 
Ciirist's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of 
the Lord, 

13 'I had no rest in my spirit, because I found 
not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, 
I went from thence into Macedonia. 

1 4'"Now thanks 6e untoGod, which always causeth 
us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the 
savour of his knowledge by us in every i)lace. 

15 " For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, : 
in them that are saved, and in them that perish : 

16 ° To the one ire are the savour of death unto 
death ; and to the other the savour of life unto life. 
And^who is sufficient lT)r these things ? 

17 P For we are not as many, wiiicli corrupt the 
word of God : but as of sincerity, but as of God, in 
the sight of God, speak we in Christ.

of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sin- °'^'

O^^For ye know tlie grace of our Lord Jesus pM!it.s^2o.

he becam.e i)oor, that ye through his poverty might

approved yoin-selves to be clear in this matter. 

12 ' Wherefore, though 1 wrote unto you, I did it 
not for his cause that had doneihe wrong, nor for his 
cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you 
in the sight of God might appear unto you. 

13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: 



I Pet. 4, 10. 

13 '' For J mean not that other men be eased, and kActs4,s4. 
you burdened :

there may be equality: 

15 'As it is written. Re that had gathered much ii-x.i5,i8.

matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness. _

shall reap also sparingly ; and he which soweth 
bountifidly shall reap also bountifully.

toward you ; that ye, always having all-sufficiency 
in all things, may abound to every good work .

hath given to the poor : his righteousness remaineth 
for ever.

1 The First Epistle of PAUL, the Apostle, to the 



CHAPTER I. 

2 Paul sliewetli his remembrance of lliem in tliank.sgiving 
;uh1 pr<i}er, 5 and approvelh their exemplary reception of: 
the gospel. 

AUL, and Silvanus, and Timoth.eus, unto the 
church of the Thessalonians, ivhich is in God 
the Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ : Grace be 
unto you, and peace, from God our Fatiier and the 
Lord Jesus Christ. ; 

2 ''Vv'e ^ive thanks to God always for you all,; 
makins; mention of you in our prayers; ; 

3 *-■ Remembering '\\ithout ceasing j'oiu' work of: 
faith, and labour of lo\e, and p;itience of hope in our : 
Lord .iesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Fat her; ; 

4''Kno\A'ing,lirethren beloved, youreiection of God. ; 

5 ^ For our gosjjcl came not unto you in word: 
only, but also in poorer, and in the Holy Ghost, and ; 
in much assurance; as ye know what manner of; 
men we were among you for your sake. j 

6 ^ And ye became followers of us, and of the : 
Lord, having received the word in much affliction, ; 
with joy of the Holy Ghost ; : 

7 So that ye were ensamplcs to all that believe : 
in Macedonia and Achaia. i 

8 ^For from you sounded out the word of the Lord ! 
not ojily in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every | 
];lace your f;iith to God- ward is spread abroad ; so \ 
that we need not to speak any thing. : 

9 '' For they themselves shew of us what manner : 
of entiM'ing in we had unto you, and how ye turned i 
to God from iiiols, to serve the living and true God ; ; 

10 'And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom ' 
he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered '• 
us from the wrath to come. '> 

CHAPTER H. : 

1 In what manner the go.spel was preached unto them, and ; 
how they received it j IJ he siiewelh his desire of coming ; 
to them, &c. ; 

OR yourselves, brethren, knovv' our entrance ■ 
in unto you, that it was not in vain : \ 

2 ''But evei) after that we had suffered before, and ■ 
v/ere shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, i 
we were boldin our God to speak unto you the gos- j 
l>el of God with much contention. ! 

3 'For our exhortation ivas not of deceit, nor ofi 
uncleanness, nor in guile : 

_4 "^ But as we were allo^ved of God to be put in trust : 
with the gos|)el, even so we si)eak ; not as pleasing 
men, but God, which trieth our hearts. 

5 "For neither at any time used we llattering words, 
asyeknow,noracloakofcovetousness;God/6'witness: 

6 ' Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, 
nor ijei of others, when we might have been burden- 
some, as the apostles of Christ. 

7 ^ But we were gentle among you, even as a 
nurse cherisheth her children • 



8 '' So, being affectionately desirous of you, we 
were Avilling to ha^'e imparted unto you. not the gos- 
pel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye 
were dear unto us. 

9 ' For ye remember, brethren, our labour and 
travail : for labouring night and day, because we 
would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached 
unto you the gospel of God. 

10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, howholily and 
justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among 
you that believe : 

11 "As ye know how we exhorted and comforted 
and charged every one of you, as a father doth his 
children, 

12 'That ye would walk worthy of God, who 
hatli called you unto his kingdom and glory. 

13 '" For this cause also tliauk vvc God without 
ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God 
^^■hich ye iicard oi" us, ye received it not f/.sthe word 
of men, but, as it is in truth, tlie word of God, which 
effectually worketh also in you that believe. 

14 "For ye, breiln'en, iKx^ame followers of the 
churches of God which inJudeaarein Christ Jesus: 
for ye also have suffercKl like things of your own 
countrymen, even as they hcve of the Jews ; 

15 "Who both killed the Lord Jesus and their 
own prophets, and have persecuted us ; and they 
please not God, and are contrary to all men ; 

16 '' Forbidding us to speak to tlie Gentiles, that 
they might be saved, to fill u\) tlieir sins always ; for 
the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. 

17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a 
short time in jiresence, not in heart, endeavoiu'ed the 
more abundantly to see your face with great desire. 

18 ''Wherefore we would have come unto you, 
even I Paid, once and again ; but Satan hhidered us. 

19 ■■ For what is our lioj)e, or joy, or crov»n of 
rejoicing ? Are not even ye in the presence of our 
Lord Jesus Christ at his coming ? 

20 For ye are our glory and jov. 

CHAPTER 111. 

1 Why Paul sent Timothy to tliem ; G his good report a con- 
solation to liim. 
WHEREFORE, when we could no longer for- 
bear, we thought it good to be left at Athens 
alone ; 

2 ''And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister 
of God, and our i'ellow-labourer iii the gospel of 
Christ, to estabiish you, and to comfort you concern- 
ing yotu- faith ; 

3 " That no man should be moved by these afflic- 
tions : for yourselves know that we are api)ointed 
thereunto. 

4 For verily, when vve were ^^'ith }ou, we told 
you before that we should suffer tribulation ; c^■en 
as it came to pass, and ye know.

and the l^ord Jesus Christ: 

2 *" Graee unto you, and i)pace, from God our Fa- 
ther and the .Lord Jesus Christ. 

3 " We are hound to thank God always for you, 
brethren, as it is meet, because that your faitli srowetli 
e.xceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all 
toward each other a])oundeth : 

4'' So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches 
of God, for your jiatience and faith in all your per- 
secutions and tribulations that ye endure ; 

5 " IVhichisn manifesttokenof the righteous judg- 
ment of God, that ye may be coimted worthy of tlie 
kingdom of God, lor which yc also suffer : 

6 ' Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to reconi- 
pen.se tribulation to them that trouble you ; 

7 ^ And to you who are troubled, rest with us; 
when the l^ord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven 
with his mighty angels, 

8 '' In llaming lire, taking vengeance on them that [ 
know not CJod, and that obey not the gosi)el of our 
Lord Jesus Christ: ■ 

9 ' Who shall be punished with everlasting destruc- : 
tion from the lore.sence of the Lord, and from the : 
glory of his i)ower ; :

1 lie willetli tiiem to continue steadfast in the truth received ; 
3 sheweth that liiere siiail be a departure from tlie faitli,

OW we beseech 3 on, brethren, by the coming 
of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering 
together imto him, 

2 ''That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be 
troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, 
as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 

5 "^ Let no man deceive you by any means : for 
that day shall not come, except there come a falling 
away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son 
of perdition; 

4 *" Who opposeth and exaltcth himself above all 
that is called God, or that is worshipped ; so that he, 
as God, sittcth in the temi)le of God, shewing him \ 
self that he is God. 

5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with 
3'ou, 1 told you these things .'^ 

6 And now ye know \\hat withholdeth, that he 
might be revealed in his time. 

7 * For the mystery of iniquity doth aheady work : 



I only he who now letteth, ivill let, until he be taken 

out of the way. 

8JAnd then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom 
; the Lord shall consun)e with the spirit of his mouth, 

and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming : 

9 ^ Even him, whose coming is after the working 
of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders, 

10 ''And \vith all dcceivableness of unrighteous- 
: ness in them that i)erish ; because they received not 
;the love of the truth., that they might be saved. 

1 1 "And for this cause God shall send them strong 
delusion, that the}^ should believe a lie : 

; 12 "" That they all might be damned who believed 
I not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 
I 13 ' But we are bound to give thanks always to 
God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because 
God hath from the beginningchosen you to .salvation 
through sanctilication of the Spirit and belief of the 
truth: 

14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the 
obtainina; of the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

13 "" Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the 
traditions which ye have been taught, whether by 
word, or our ei)istle. 

16 " Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, 
even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given 
us everlasting consolation and good hope through 
grac^, 

17 "Comfort your hearts, and establish you in 
every good word and work. 

CHAPTER in.

them, praying God to direct them ; 6 he giveth them divers 
precepts, &c.

yon, that ye both do and will do the thing,s which

5 " And the Lord direct your hearts into the love 
of God, and into tiu^ patient \\alling i'or Christ. 

6 ^ Now we comma lid you, brethren, in the name 
of om- l..ord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw your- 
selves from every brother that N\alketh disorderly, 
and not after thetrydition which iie received of us.

5 '^ When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith 
that is in thee, wdiich dwelt lirst in thy grandmother

that in thee also. 

6 ^ Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that ; 
tliou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the [

1 The Epistle of PAUL, to TITUS. 



CHAPTER L 

5 Why Titus was left at Crete.... 10 Of evil-doers. 
ALL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus 
Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and 
the acknowledging of the truth which is after godli- 
ness ; 

2 '' In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot 
lie, promised before the world began ; 

3 "But hath in due time manifested his word 
through preaching, which iis committed unto me, 
according to the commandment of God our Saviour; 

4 '' To Titus, ?nfne own son after the common faith: 
Grace, mercy, ami peace, from God the Father, and 
the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. 

5 ^ For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou 
shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and 
ordain elders in every city, as 1 had appointed tliee : 

6 Mfanybe blameless, the husband of one wife, 
having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly. 

7 ^ For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward 
of God ; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to 
wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre ; 

8 ^ But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, 
sober, just, holy, temperate : 

9 ' Holding fast the faithful word, as he hath been 
taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both 
to exhort and to convince the gainsa^ers. _ 

10 ^ For there are numy unruly and vain talkers 
and deceivers, especially they of the circiu"ncision : 

1 1 ' Whose mouths must be stopped ; who subvert 
whole hoi'.ses, teaching things which they ought not, 
for filthy lucre's sake. 

12 One of themselves, ei;e??apro])hetof theirown, 
said, The C.rctians are always liars, evil beasts, slow 
bellies. 



13 ""This witness is true. Wherefore rebtike them 
sharply ; that they may be sound in the faith : 

14 " Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and com- 
mandments of men that turn from the truth. 

15 ° Unto the piU'e all things are pure ; but unto 
them that are defiled and unbelieving 7.5 nothing pure; 
but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 

16 PThey profess that they know God ; but in 
works they deny him, being abominable, and disobe- 
dient, and unto every good work reprobate. 

CHAPTER n. 

1 Directions given unto Titus both for his doctrine and life. 
9 Of the duty of servants, &c. 

UT speak thou the things which become sound 
doctrine : 

2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, 
sound in faith, in charity, in patience ; 

3 " The aged women likewise, that they he in be- 
haviour as becometh holiness, not false ^iccusers, not 
given to much wine, teachers of good things ; 

4 That thev may teach the young women to be 
sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 

5 " To he discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, 
obedient to their own husbands, thatthe word of God 
be not blasphemed. 

6\^oung men likewise exhort to be sober-minded. 

7 '^ In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good 
works ; in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, 
sincerity, 

8 " Sound speech that cannot be condemned ; that 
he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, hav- 
ing no evil thing to say of you. 

9 '' Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own 
masters, and to please them well in all things ; not 



answeruig again

our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, 
and fellow-labourer, _ _ \ 

2 ^ And to our beloved Apphia, and Archii)pus our ; 
fellovv'-soldier, and to the church in thy house : ; 

3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father 
and the Lord Jesus Christ. 

4 " I thank my God, making mention of thee always 
in myinayers, 

5 "^ Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast 
toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints ; 

6 " That the communication of thy faith may be- 
come eifectual by the acknowledging of every good 
thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. 

7 ^ For we have great joy and consolation in thy 
love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed 
by thee, brother, _ ^ \ 

8 ^ Wherefore, though I might be much bold in 
Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient, 

9 Yet for love's sake 1 rather beseech tliee, being 
such a one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner ; 
of Jesus Christ. i 

10 '' I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom 1 \ 
hav(, begotten in my bonds : 

1 1 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, : 
but now profitable to thee and to me : 

12 Whom I have sent again : thou therefore receive 
him, that is vnine own bowels: 

13 ' Whom I would have retained with me, that in 



thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the 
bonds of the gospel : 

14 ''But without thy mind would I do nothing ; 
that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, 
but willingly. 

15' For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, 
that thou shouldest receive him for ever ; ■ 

16 "'Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a 
brother lieloved, especially to me, but how much 
more unto thee, both in the (lesh and in the Lord ? 

17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive 
him as myself. 

18 !f he hath wronged thee, or oweth iliee aught, 
put that on mine account ; 

19 I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I 
will repay it : albeit I do not say to thee how thou 
onest tmto me even thine own self besides. 

20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the 
Lord : refresh my bo'.Acls in the Lord. 

21 "Having confidence in thy obedience, I wrote un- 
to thee, knowing that thou wilt alsodo more than I say. 

22 "But withal prepare me also a lodging : for I trust 
that through your prayers I shall be given untoyoii. 

23 P There salute thee Epaphras, my felloAV-pris- 
oner in Christ Jesus ; 

24 1 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fel- 
low-labourers. 

25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ he with 
your spirit. Amen.

Son, whom he iuith appointed heir of all things, by \ 
whom also he made the worlds ; \ 

3 "^ Who beins the brightness oUiis glory, and the ?

by the word of his power, when he had by himself j 
jxuged our sins, sat dowii on the right hand of the < 
iVlajesty on high ; \ 

4 *■ Being made so much better than the angels, as ? 
he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent | 
name than they. i

time, Thou art my Son, this day have 1 begotten \ 
thee ? And again, I will be to him a leather, and he | 
shall be to me a Son ? s 

6 ^ And again, whenhebringethin the first-begot- j 
ten into the v»'orld, he saith, And let all the angels of i 
God worship him. s 

7 ^ And of the an.gels he saith. Who maketh his \ 
angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of tire. j 

8 '' But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, I 
is for ever and ever : a sce[)tre of righteousness is the > 
sceptre of thy kingdom : S

they shall be changed : but thou art the same, and \

dominion of the world not granted to angels, but to the > 
Son, &c. i 

THEREFORE we ought to give the more ear- ] 
nest heed to the things ^vhich we have heard, I 
lest at any time we should let thxui slip. | 

2 "^For if the words})oken by angels was steadfast, ] 
and every transgression and disobedience received a j 
just recomjiense of reward ; ^ 

3 '■ How shall we escape, if we neglect so great i 
salvation ; wdiich at the first began to be spoken by i 
the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that i 
heard him ; i 

4 '^ God also bearing iAem witness, both with signs 5 
and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of ^ 
the Holy Ghost, according to his own will ? > 

5 " For unto the angels hath he not ptit in subjec- 5 
tion the world to come, whereof we speak. < 

6 "^But one in a certain place testified, saying, > 



What is man, that thou art mindful of him .'^ or the 
son of man, that thou visitest him ? 

7 ^Thou madest him a Ihtle loner than the an- 
gels ; thou crownedst him with glory and honour,and 
didst set him over the works of thy hands; 

8 ''Tliou hast i)ut all things in sidijection under his 
feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, 
he left uoih'mg that is not put under him. But now 
we see not yet all things ])ut under him : 

9 ' But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower 
than the angels, for the suffering of death, crowned 
with glory and honom- ; that he Ijy the grace of God 
should taste death for every man. 

10 " For it became hiui, for Avhom are all things, 
and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons 
unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation 
perfect through sufferings. 

1 1 'For both he that sanctifieth and they who are 
sanctified are all of one : for which cause he is not 
ashamed to call them brethren ; 

12 ■" Saying, I will declare thy name unto my 
brethren ; in the midst of the church will I sing jiraise 
unto thee. 

13 " And again, I will i)ut my trust in him. And 
again. Behold, I, and the children which God hath 
given me. 

14 " Forasmuch then as the children are partakers 
of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise t(>ok part 
of the same ; that through death he might destroy 
him that had the power of death, that is, the devil ; 

15 P And deliver them who through fear of death 
were all their life-time subject to bondage. 

16 For verily he took not on him the nature of 
angels ; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 

17 '' Wherefore in ail things it behoved him to be 
made like unto /h'^ brethren, that he might be a mer- 
ciful and fiiithful High Priest in X\\m^?, pertaininf^ to 
God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people : 

18 'For in that he himself hath suffered, being 
tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. 
CHAPTER 111. 

1 Christ is shewed to be more wortiiy tlian Moses : 7 there- 
fore w'li must be careful not to follow the example of tiie ob- 
stinate and unbelieving Israelites, Szc. 

"'M/'HEREFORE, holy brethren, partakers of 
V? the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle 
and High Priest of om- profession, Christ Jesus ; 

2 '' Who was faithful to him that appointed him, 
as also Moses ivas faithful in all his house. 

3 *" For this man was counted ivort hy of more glory 
than Moses, inasmuch as he W"ho hath buildc^ the 
house hath more honour than the house. 

4 "^ For every house is huilded by some maji; but 
he that built all things is God. 

5 ^ And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, 
as a servant, for a testimony of those things which 
were to be spoken after : 

6 ""But Christ as a Son over his own house ; whose 
house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the 
rejoicing of the hojie firm unto the end. 

7 ^ V/herefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To-day, 
if ye will hear his voice, 

8 ^ Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, 
in the day of temptation in the wilderness ; 

9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, ami 
saw my works forty years.

Melchisedec met him. "^ 

11 '' If therefore perfection were by the Levitical ie^reMsf 
priesthood, (for under it the peoi)le received the if;,^ ^ ^ 
law,) what further need was there tluit another priest 
should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not 

be called after the order of Aaron ? 

12 For tiie priesthood being changed, there is 
made of necessity, a change also of tlie law. 

13 For he of whom these things are spoken, per- 
taineth toanotiier tribe, of which no man gave at- 
tendance at the altar. 

14 ' For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of iT«i.ii,h

mandment going before, for the weakness and un- "7^"*^''

faith with us through the righteousness of God and 
our Saviour Jesus Christ: 

2''Graceandpea<;ebe multiplied unto you through 
the knowledge of God, and ol" Jesus our I^ord, 

3 "^ According as his divine i)o\ver hath given unto 
us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, 
through the kno\\'ledge of him that hadi called us 
to glory and virtue : 

4 '' Whereby are given unto us exceeding great 
and precious i)romises; that by these ye might be; 
partakers of the divine nauire, having escaped the; 
coiTU[)tion that is in the world through lust. | 

5 "And besides this, giving all diligence, add to] 
your faith virtue ; and to virtue knowledge ; i 

t) Aiul to knowledge temperance ; and to temper- j 
ance patience ; and to patience godliness , ;

■ brotherly kindness charity.

I make you that ye shall ne'ithvv be l>arren nor unfruit-

; caimot .see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was 

[)urged from his old sins. 

1 ' Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence 

to make your calling and election sure : for if ye do 

these things, ye shall never fall : 

1 1 For so an entrance sliall be ministered unto 
you abundantly into the everlasting kuigdom of our

CHAPTEFt I. 

1 He declareth what he had .seen and known of tlie Word of 
life.... 5 The necessity of holiness, in order to fellowship ; 
with God. : 

* rf^HAT which was from the beginning, which : 
Ji- we have heard, which we have seen with our : 
eyes, whicli ^ve have looked upon, and our hands : 
have handled, of the Word of life ; 

2 ** (For the Life was manifested, and we have 
seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that 
eternal Life, which was with the Father, and was 
manifested unto us ;) 

3 " That which we have seen and heard declare 
we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship -^vith 
us : and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and 
with his Son Jesus Christ. 

4 '^ And these things write we unto you, that your 
joy mav be full. 

5 _^ This then is the message which ^ve have lieard 
of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and 
in him is no darkness at all. 

6 M_f we say that we iiave fellowship with him, and 
walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth : 

7 ^But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, 
we have fellowship one with another, and the blood 
of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 

8 "^ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive our- 
selves, and the truth is not in us._ 

9 ' If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just 
to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all 
unrighteousness. 

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make 
him a liar, and his word is not in us. 

CHAPTER II. 

1 Christ our advocate and propitiation. ...3 To knov/ God aright 
is to keep iiis cominandraents, and love our brethren....! 8 To 

beware of seducers. ■ 

^ 1%'1~^ '^''^^ 'g children, these things write I unto you, : 

_LtA that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we , 

we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ: 

the righteous : '< 

2 ^ And he is the propitiation for our sins : and 
not for ours only, but also for th^ sins of the whole : 
world. : 

3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if 
we keep his commandments^. ; 

4 " Pie that saith, I know him, and keepeth not i 



: his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is notm 

him. 

6 "^But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is 
: the love of God perfected : hereby know we that 

v,c are in him. 

6 " He th.at saith he abideth in him, ought himself 
: also so to walk, even as he walked. 

7 ' Brethren, I write no new commandment unto 
iyou, but an old commandment, which ye had from 
; the beginning. The old commandment is the word 
; which ye have heard from the beginning. 

j 8 ^ Again, a new commandment 1 write unto you ; 

i which thiug is true in him and in you : because the 

I darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. 

i 9 '' He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his 

; brother, is in darkness even until now. 

; 10 ' He that loveth his brotlicr abideth in the light, 

I and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. 

I n "^ But he that hatetli his brother, is in darkness, 

I and waikeih in darkness, and knoweth not whitlier 

I he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his 

ieyes. 

; 12 ' I write unto you, little children, liecausc your 

; sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. 

i 13 "" I write unto you, fathers, because ye have 

I known him that is from tlie beginning. I write unto 

I you, young men, because ye have overcome the 

1 wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because 

; ye have known the Father. 

; 14 " I have written unto you, fEithers, l)ecausc ye 

■ have known him tliat is from the beginning. I have 

I written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, 

■and the A\'ord of God abideth in you, and ye htue 

; overcome the wicked one. 

i 15 " Love not the world, neither the things that 

\are in the world. If any man love the world, the 

I love of tlie Father is not in him. 

1 6 For all that 25 in the world, the lust of the flesh 
and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of 
the Father, but is of the world. 

17 P And the world passeth away, and the lust 
thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth 
for ever. 

18 •! Little children, it is the last time • and as ye 
have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are 
there many antichrists ; vvhere!)y we know th'tt it is 
the last time.

^of James, to them that are sanctilied by God 
the Father, an(i preserved in Jesus Ch)-ist, a?2c/ called: 

2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multi- 
plied. 

3 ** Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write 
unto you of the common salv;ttion, ic was needful 
for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye 
should earnestly contend for the faith which was 
once delivered unto the saints. 

4 " For there are certain men crept in unawares, 
who were before of old ordained to this condenma- 
tion ; ungodly men, turning tlse grace of our Ciod into 
lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and 
our Lord Jesus Christ. 

5 '^ I will therefore putyou in remembrance, though 
3'c once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved 
the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward 
destroyed them that believed not. 

6 '^ And the angels \Ahich kept not their first 
estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved 
in everlasting chains, under darkn.ess, unto the judg- 
ment of the great day. 

7 ^ Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities 
about then), in like manner giving themselves over to 
fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth 



; for an examide, suffering the vengeance of eternal 
I fire. 

; 8 = Likewise also these filihii dreamers defile the 
; flesh, desi)ise dominion, and speak evil oi' dignities. 
; 9 ''Yet Michael the archangel, when contending 
■ with the devil, he disputed idjout the body of Moses, 
I durst not bring agninst him a railing accusation, but 
j said, The Lord rebuke thee. 

I 10 'But these s[)eak evil of those things wliich 
: they know not: but what they know natin-ally, as 
: brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. 
: 11 "^ Wo unto them ! for they have gone in the 
[ way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of 
Balaam for reward, and jjcrished in the gainsaying 
of Core. 

12 'These are spots in your feasts of charity, 
when they feast with you, feeding themselves with- 
out fear : clouds tliei/ are without water, cai'ried 
about of winds; trees \yhose fruit withereth, with- 
out fruit, twice dead, ])lucked up by the roots ; 

13 ■" Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their 
own shame ; wandering stars, to whom is reserved 
the blackness of darkness for ever. 

14 " And Enoch also, the seventh from x\dam, 
prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lordcometh 
witli ten thousand of his saints, 

15 ° To execute judgment u])on all ; and to c-on- 
Ivince all that are ungodly among them of all their 

ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed,

CHAPTER I. 

4 John's salutation to the seven churches. ...7 The comhig of 

Chri.st ; 14 his glorious power and majesty. 
^ F 1 1 HE Revelation of JesusChrist,vvhich God gave 
-i- unto him, to shew unto his servants things 
which must shortly come to jiass ; and he sent and 
signified it by his angel unto his servant John : 

2 ^ Who bare record of the word of God, and of 
the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that 
he saw. 

3 ''Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear 
the \vords of this proj)hecy, and keep those things 
which are written therein : for th(3 time is at hand. 

4 "^ XOHN to the seven churches in Asia: Grace 

t3 be unto you, and peace, from him which is, 
and which was, and which is to come; and from the 
seven Si)irits which are before his throne : 

5 "And from Jesus Christ, vjho is ihe faithful wit- 
ness, and the lirst-begotten of the dead, and the 
Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved 
us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 

6 "^ And hath made us kings and priests unto God 
and his Father; to him he glory and dominion for 
ever and ever. Amen. 

7 " Behold, he cometh with clouds ; and every eye 
shall see him, and they also which pierced him : and 
all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. 
Even so. Amen. 

8 '" 1 am Ali)ha and Omega, the beginning and the 
ending, salt h the Lord, which is, and which was, and 
which is to come, the Almighty. 

9 'I John,w ho also am yoiu'brother,and companion 
in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of 
Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for 
the word of God, and for the testimony of JesusChrist. 

10 "^ I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and 
heard behind me a great voice, as of atrumj)et, 

1 1 ' Sii^'ing, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and 
the last : and. What thou seest, write in a book, and 
send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia ; 
unto Ei)hesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, 
and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and Philadel- 
phia, and unto Laodicea. 

12 "'And I turned to see the voice that spake with 
me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candle- 
sticks ; 

13 "And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one 
like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment 
down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a 
golden girdle. 



; 14 ° His head and Ids hairs ivere white like wool, 
\ as white as snow ; and his eyes were as a liame of 

i 15 ''And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they 

i burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of 

i many waters. 

■ 16'' And he had in his right hand seven stars ; and 

I out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword : and 

I his countenanee 26a5as the sun sliineth in his strength. 

; 17 ■'And when I saw him, 1 fell at his feet as dead. 

;And he laid his right liand upon me, saying unto 

: me. Fear not ; 1 am the iirst ai'd the last : 

; 1 8 "" J am he that liveth, and was dead ; and, behold, 

il am alive for evermore, Amen ; and have the keys 

i of hell and of death. 

I 19 'Write the things which thou hast seen, and 

I the things which are, and the things which shall be 

; hercai'ter ; 

I 20 " The mystery of the seven stars which thou 

! sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candle- 

i sticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven 

; churches: and tJie seven candlesticks which thou 

; sawest, are the seven churches. 

! CHAPTER U. 

i I What John v/n.-; commanded to write to the angels of the 
i churches of Ephcsus, 8 Smyrna, 12 I'erganius, 18 and 
! I'hyatira. 

"NTO the angel of the church of Ei)hesus 
wrhe ; These things sahh he that holdeth 
the seven stars in his right haml, who \Aalketh in 
the midst of the seven gnjden candlesticks; 

2 " 1 know thy 'v^ orks, and thy laboin-, and thy 
patience, and how thou canst not bear them whicli 
are evil : and thou hast tiled them wliieh say the} 
are apostles, and are not, and hast fomid them liars: 

3 ''And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my 
name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 

4 Nevertheless 1 hiwcsompwliat against thee, be- 
cause thou hast left thy Iirst love. 

5 "^ Remember therefore from wdience thou art 
fallen ; and repent, and do the first works; or else 
I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy 
candlestick out of his place, excei)tthou rejient. 

6 But t'lis thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of 
the Nicolaitanes, \'\ hich 1 also hate. 

7 ^He that hath an ear, let him hear what the 
Spirit saith unto the church.es ; To him_ that over- 
cometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is 
in the midst of tlie paradise of God.

1 The Lamb standing on mount Sion with his company, 6 an 
anjel prcacheth the gospel ; 8 another proclainieth the fall 
of Jiab^'lon, 15 thc harvest of the world, &c. 

ND I looked, and lo, a Lamb stood on the 
mount Sion, and with him a hundred forty and 

four thousand, having his Father's name written in 

their foreheads. 

2 ^ And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice 
of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder : 
and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their 
hari)s : 

3 " And they sung as it were a new song before 
the tin-one, and before the four beasts, and thc elders: 
and no man could learn that song but the hundred 
ajid forty and four thousand, which were redeemed 
from the earth. 

4 ''These are they which were not defiled with 
women ; for they are virgins. These are they which 
follo\v the Lanvb whithersoever he goeth. These 
were redeemed from among men, being the first- 
fruits unto God and to the Lamb. 

5 *"' And in their mouth was found no guile : for 
they are without faidt before tlie tlirone of God. 

6 And I saw another angel fly in the mitlst of 
heaven, having tlie everlasting gospel to preach unto 
them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, 
and kindred, and tongue, and people, 

7 '' Saying -with a loud voice, Fear God, and give 
glory to him ; for thchour of his judgment is come : 
and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and 
the sea, and the fountains of waters. 

3 " And there followed another angel, saying, Ba- 
bylon is fallen, is fiillen, that great city, because she 
made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of 
her fornication. 

9 '' And the third angel followed them, saying 
with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and 
his image, and receive his mark in liis forehead, or 
in his hand, 

1 ' The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath 
of God W'hich is poured out without nuxture into the 
cuj) of his indignation ; and he shall be tormented 
with fire and brimstone in the presence of tiie holy 
angels, and in the presence; of the Lamb : 

11'' And the smoke of their torment ascendeth tij) 
for ever and ever : and they have no rest day iior 
night, who worship the beast and his image, and 
whosoever receiA^eth the mark of his name. 

12 ' Here is the patience of the saints ; here are 
they that keep the commandments of God, and the 
faith of Jesus.

iseth to estatilrili bis covenant. 

Aiirali.ini enteitaineih three angel.';, who renew the promise to him of having 
a son. God revcaleth to Abraham the destruction of Sodom, with whom Abra- 
ham intercedes for Lot and his family. See Gen. six. 29.

■viih all the inhabitants of them, are for the most horrible sins desiroved by fire 
and brimstone front heaven. The Dead Sea remains a monument th'ereof unto 
tins day. Lot s \yife, for looking back upon Sodom, contrary to God's . om- 
niand, IS turned into a pillar of salt; and Lot himself, fearing to continue at 
/.oar, leaves the pl.ain country, and jetakes himself to the mountain, rairyine 
his two daughters with him. ^ ^ 

Isaac born in tlie 100th year of Abraham's age. Not long after, to Lot are 
born Moab and Amnion, his suns at the same time, and his grandsons

Levi dieth in Egj-pt, aged 137 years j he was grandl&ther to Moses and Aaron. 

Here begins the bondag-e of the childran of Israel, when a king rose up in 
E{ry|>t, wlm knew not Joseph. 

Aaron born tlnee years before his brother Mos.es, 03 years before the departure 
of the chihlreii of Israel out of Kgypt. 

Pliaraoh having in vain eojiimanded the Hebrew midwives to destioy all Ui" 
males of the Israelites, ssts forili an edlci, charging tliat they be all cast into the 
river. 

Moses is born, who, beinp hid in the flag^s by the river's side, is found by Pha- 
raoli's daughter; anvl becomes her adopted son. 

Moses, in ihe 40th year of Ids age, having slain an Kgyptian, whom he saw 
cont**nding witli a Hebrew, fleeth into Midian, where he marrieth Zipporab the 
daughter of Keui.1, or Jelhro, a priest, and liveih with him forty years. 

Caleli, the son of Jephunueh, liorr.. 

Whilst Moses keeps l)is father-in-law's sheep at mount Horeb, God appeareth 
to hir, ill a biu'ning bush, and sendeth h'ln to deliver Israel. 

Moses .nnd Aaron having declared to Pharaoh the message on which they are 
sent uiiio him from God, are charged by him as heads of a mutiny, and sent 
away with many bad words ; and more grievous labours are fonhvvitu laid upon 
the Israelites. 

Moses being now 80, and AaroH 83 years of age, urged thereunto by God, 
return again unto Pharaoli, where the Tnagirians by f'leir sorcery, imitating the 
miracles of Aaron's rod turned into a seqient, make Pharaoh more obstinate 
than he was before. Wherefore God by tlie band of Moses lays ten plagues 
tipon the Egyptians. 

The fourth Age of the IVorld. 

UPON the fourteenth day of the first montli, (which was JSIay the fourth, upon 
Monduij with u.s) in the evening, the pafsover is instituted. 
Upon the fifteenth of the same month, at midnignt, the first-born of Kgy|il 
being all slain, Pharaoh and his servants make haste to tend away the Israelites j 
and they, the selt'-sanie day wherein they were let gooutof Ooiidage, oeingihe 
complete term of 130 years from the first pilgiim ige of their ance-lors, reck- 
oning troni Abraham's departure out of Charran, take their journey, an<t march 
away, being 600,000 men, besities childien, and come to Kameses, from wlieiice 
by several encarapings they come to the Red Sea, the Lord conducting them 
in a pillar of a cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night. They carry Jo- 
seph's bones with them. 

At the Red Sea Pharaoh with his host overtakes them ; Moses divides the 
waters with his rou, and the children of Israel pass through on dry ground ui'.to 
tne desert of Klham ; whom, when Pharaoh and his army would needs liDllow, 
they are all overvvlielnied by the waters ccn)lng together at the dawning of the

whose carcases when they see floating all the sea over, and cast upon the shore, 
they sing a song of praise and thanksgiving unto God 

Upon the fiftc.-enth of the second month, (our June the 4tli, being Thwuhiy) 
the Isiaelites come to the wikleniess of Zin, which lieth between Elyna and 
Sinai, where, for want of fofKl, they murmur against God and their lenders; 
about the even-title God senos them quails, and the next morning rains upon 
them manna from lieaven; and upon that kind of bread they lived at'terward by 
the space of fitrty years, even till they came to the borders of the land of promise. 
An omer of it is preserved ior a memorial. 

At Rephidim, which was the eleventh place of their encamping, the peojilc 
murmur for want of water; Moses gives them water by striking the hard rock 
in Horeb with his rod. 

The Amalckites falling U|ion the rear of the Israelites arc discomfited by 
Joshua, whilst Moses hc'ds up his bauds to God in prayer. 

God publisheth his Law,contJiined in the Ten Commandments, with a terrible 
voice from mount Sinai. 

The people being in great fear, God gives them sundry other laws, al! which 
being written in the book of the covenant, Moses proi)oselh them to the people : 
which done, rising early in the morning, he builds an altar at the fool of tiie 
mountain, and sets up 12 statues, according to the 12 triljcs of Israel, an<l semis 
12 young men of the first-born, (-.vhom the Lord hath consecrated to himself ,\s nn- 
nislers of those holy things, before the Lcviiical priesthood was ordained) which 
offer sacrifice, first for sin, and then for thanksgiving, to the Lord, and when 
Moses had read the book of the covenant, he takes the blood of the calves and 
goats so offered, and witli water, scarlet wool, and hyssoi>, sprinkles the book 
therewith, and all the people, or those 12 statties representing them; and so 
performs a solemn covenant between God and his people. 

Moses and .\8ron, Nadaband .'\liihu,and 70 men of Ihe elders of Israel, go up 
into the mount, and there behohl the glory of God : the rest returning, Moses 
wiln his servant Joshua abides Vhere still, and wails six days, nnd upon tile 
seventh day God speaks unto him, and there he continues 40 days and 40 nights 
(reckoning those six days which he waited for the appearance of the Lord) eat- 
ing no meat all that while, nor drinking water; {DnI. ix. 9.; where he receives 
God's command touching the frame of the tabernacle, the priests' garnieuts, 
their consecration, sacrifices, and other things comprised in tiiis and the six 
following chapters. 

At the end of 40 days God gives Moses the two t.ibles of the Law in stone, 
made by God's own hand, and written with his own finger; bidding bim withal 
quickly' to get him down, for that the people had already made to themselves a 
molten calf to worship. Aloses by prayer pacifieth God, and goes down from 
the mount, and seeing the people keeping a r*'stival in honour of their idol in 
the camp, he breaks the tables of the law at the foot of the niounl: i"or which the 
Jews keep a solemn fast unto this day. 

Moses, liaving burnt aiid defaced the idol, puts 3000 of the idolaters to rie.ith 
by the hands of tiie Levites. 

God commands l\!oses to frame new tables of stone- and t.i bring them with 
him into tlie mount : Moses brings them the next morning, and while lie stands 
in the cleft of a roch, God passelh by, and sheweth him a glimpse of his glory. 

God renews Ins covenant with his people, and upon certain conditions gives 
them his laws again. 

In the first six months of this year, the tabernacle, the ark of the covenant, 
the altar the table of shew-bread, the prie-ts' g.irments, the holy ointments, 
the candlestick, and other utensils and vessels belonging to the sacrifices, a-e 
finished in the deseil at mount Sinai, and are brought unto iVlose<. 

The tabernacle is set up and anointed with holy oil. Aaron and his sons are 
consecrated for the priesthood. 

Nadab and Abiiiu, for oiPering strange fire, are struck dead in the place by 
fire from heaven. 

The princes of the tribes present their offerings toward tiie dedication of the 
tabernacle. God speaketh to Moses from the mercy-seat. 

The second passover i.'. instituted. 

Jethro, w ho is also railed Hobab, brings his daughter Zipporab, with her two 
sons, Gershom and Eliezer, which were left with him, to 'ds son-in-i;iv. Moses- 
and having congratu bated his and the whole people of Israel's deliveiance out 
of bondage, he openly declares his fiuth and devotion toward the true God. liy 
his advice Moses imparts the government of the people to some others, and 
oroainsmagi.strates for the deciding of lesser caiisf.s. 

Moses roiiiplains to God of the overgreat buri't-n of his government , God, to 
ease him of his charge, gives him for assistance tlie court of 70 elders. 

The people lust fortlesh. God gives tliein quails in wrath; and sends witlisd 
a most grievous plague among iljem. 

God rebukes the sedition of Miriam and Aaion, and maintaiueth Moses his 
right. 

From the wilderness of Paran, near Kadesh-barnea, 12 men are sent (among 
whom are Caleb and Joshii.a) to discover the land of Canaan. Keturning, they 
bring with them a branch of a vine, with a cluster of grapes upon it ; ten of the 
twelve so sent speak ill of the country, li-chueit lir;rren, and magnify the cities 
for their strength, and thegiantly stature of the iidiabitaiits.

which Caleb ijid Joshua endeavouring to dissuade them su-e like to be stoned 
At this God is so provoked, tliat he threatens to destroy them ; but is prevailed 
upon by Moses his prayers to spare them. Nevertheless he denouncelh tli.at all 
who are now 20 years old and upwaril (except Crdeb and Joshua) shall die in 
the wilderness. The men who raised the evil report are all destroyed by sudden 
death. Some, endeavouring to enter upon the promised land, contrary to the 
command of God, are smitten by the Amalekiles and Canaanites. 

In tills place, vii. Kadesh-barnea, the Isr.ielites coniimie many days; but 
that in some places they continued many years, appeareth, for that in tlie space 
of 37 years, there are but 17 encamping's mentioned. 

To ti;eir long continuance in Kadesh, and the encampings from thence, all 
that we find delivered in the xvtii and four next ensuing chapters of Nuvihers, 
seems to refer ; as how Korah, Datlian,and Abiram, for raising a mutiny against 
Moses and Aaron, were swallowed alive into the earth, and'250 of their asso- 
ciates; and how tlie people, murmuring against Moses and Aaron for the co 
lamity which had befallen their brethren, were destroyed by God to the num 
her of !4,700 men ; and liow 12 rods being brought by 12 princes, and laid in the 
saiiclimi-y, Aiiron's rod only budded, and brought forth almonds, and was laid 
up before the ark, for a memorial to those who should afterward be given to 
rebellion. 

In these 37 years, the Israelites, by 17 encampings, having compassed the 
Mil counli-y of .Seir and Edom, they come to the wilderness of Zin in the firsj 
monlli of the 40lh year after their departure out of Egypt. 
Here Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron, dieth. 

The jiei |)le again for want of water murmur against Moses and Aaron, wliora 
when God had commanded to call water out of the rock only by speaking to it, 
Moses, being moved in his mind through impatience and diffidence of the thing, 
speaks something, whatever it was, unadvisedly with his lips, and strikes the 
rock thrice with Aaron's roil, and thereby draws water from it; but for trans- 
gressing God's command, they are both debarred from entering into the land 
of Canaan. 

In the fifth month of this year Aaron dieth at Mosera, on the lop of mount 
Hoc, a' the age of 123 years, leaving his son Eleazar his successor in the high 
prieslliood. 

The people murmuring are plagued with fiery serpents, whereof many die, 
upon their repentance GotI commands that a braren serpent be made and lifted 
up upon a pole, that as many as look on it may live. 

Alioul the latter end of this yea;, all those who at Kadesh-baniea mutinied 
against G(h1, being wholly extinct nnd dead, tlie Israelites pass over Zared, and 
come to tlie borders of Moah at Ar, and at length tl.ey arrive at Ba moth, a valley 
in the couiiti*y of the IMoabites, an<l jiitch at mount Pisgah. 

Sihon, king of the Aniorite.s, refusing them pas.sage through his country, is 
slain, and the Israelites jiossess his land. 

Og, the king of llashau, coming out against Israel, is destroyed with all his 
people, not one left alive, and his country possessed by the Israelites. 

After tl'.ese victories the Israelites set forward, and encamp in the plains ol 
Moab. 

Balak, king of Moab, considering what the Israelites had done to the Amor- 
ites, fears, lest, under pretenceof passing through his country, they should pos- 
sess themselves of his wdiole kingdom, takes counsel with the )vrinces of the 
M,.Iianites his neighbours, and sends for R.'tlaain asoothsayer out of Mesopota- 
mia to come and curse the Israelites, promising him great rewards for his labour, 
purposing al'terward to make war ujion them. 

llaLvim, forewarned of God, '■efusetli at first to come; but being sent lor a 
second lime, he importuneth God to let him go, and goes with a purpose indeed 
to curse Israel ; but God, offended thereat, makes the dumb ass of Ibis wizard, 
on which he rode, speaking in a man's voice, to reprove his folly. 

Balaam twice offers sacrifice, and would fain have cursed Israel, to gratify 
Ra'ak therein ; but being forced thereto by the Spirit of God, instead of curs- 
ing, he blesseth them allogelher : foretelling what felicity attended them, and 
what calamities should beiall their enemies. 

I5y his advice the women of Moab and Midian are set on work to turn the 
Israelites away to idolatn*. Wherefore God commands Moses first to take all 
the ringleaders of this disorder, and to hang them up before the sun, and tSien 
gives order to th.e .judges to put to deE^th all such as had joined themselves to 
Raal-peor. Last of all, God sends a plague upon the people, whereof die 23,000 
men in one day : which, added to them which were hanged and killed with tlie 
sword, amount in all to 2 1,000. 

Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, by killing Zimri, the chief of his father's family, 
andCozbithe daughter of Zur, a prirceof theMidinnites, appeaseth the wrath 
of God, and the plague ceaseth. God therefore settleth the high priesthood for 
ever upon the house of Phinehas, and commands that war be mode upon the 
Midhinites. 

Moses and Eleazar, by God's command, in the plain of Moab, near unto Jordan, 
over against Jericho, number the people from twenty years ohi and uinvards, 
and find them to betiOI,730 men, besides the Levites, whose number, reckoning 
them from one month old and upwards, comes to 23,000 ; and then Moses receivea 
command for the parting the laud of promise among the Israelites. 

The daughters of Zelophehad have their father's land parted among them, 
for want of issue male ; this occasions the law for succession in heritages to be 
made, 

Goil signifies to Moses tliat he shall die, and Joshua is thereujion declared to 
be his successor ; upon whom Moses lays his hands, and gives him instructions. 
Several laws are matle. 

Twelve IhousamI of the Israelites under the command of Phinehas vanquish 
the Midiauites, and ]iut to the sword all the males among them, witli their five 
princes, ami among them Zur, the father of Cozlii, and Balaam the wizard ; but 
t.hey save the women alive ; at which Moses is wroth, and commands that every 
male child, and al! the women, except such as be virgins, be killed. 

The lands -.vhich belonged to Sihou and Og, namely, all from the river Arnon 
to mount Hermoii, I\loses divides and gives to the tribes of Reuben and Gad, 
and the half-tribe of Manasseh ; so that their possessions lay on this side Jor- 
dan ; nevertheless, they assist the rest of the tribes in all their wajrs, till the» 
have subdued Ihe Canaanites, and possessed the proni'ised land. 

Mos<"s commands the people, that in their passage over Jordan they shall set 
lip great stones, and eiiL'ravo the Ten Comniaiidmeuts on them, with the form 
of blessing upon mount Cicrizim, and of cursing on mount Ebal ; exhorting them 
to observe Ihe law of God, by setting bei'ore their eyes the benefits that would 
ensue thereon. 

He also renews the covenant made by God with them and their children on 
mount Horeb, and ag.iiii ])ersuades them to keep that covenant by nil the b!e.5sing3 
and ciuses wiiich woiilii undoubtedly I'oUow the keepers or breakers of it; yel 
witn a promise of pardon and deliverance, if at any time, having broken it, they 
.shall repent them iif their sin ; and tells them further, that God had therefore 
thus declared his will unto them, to the end that none hereafter offending shall 
pretend ignorance. 

Mos"s, having v/ritten this law, delivers it to the priests the sons of Levi, and 
tlie elders of the'people, to be kept; the same day also he writes his most excel- 
lent song, and ti-achesthe same to the children of Israel 'o be sung; and having 
finished the book of the law, he takes order to have it laid up in tlie side ol 
the ark. 

Moses, now drawing near to his end, blesseth every tribe in particular by 
wav of prophecy, save onlv the tribe of Simeon. 

I'll Ihe 12th month of this \ear he ffoes up to mount Nebo, nnd from Ihence 
behold* the hind of promise, and there dieth, aged 120 years'; the body of Moses 
God translates out of the place where he died, into a valley of the land of Moab, 
over against Relh-peor, and there burieth it: nor doth any man know the place 
where he laid it unto this day. The Israelites mouni for him 30 days. 

Here ends the Pentateuch," or five books of Moses, containing the history ot 
2.V>2vear6 and a half, from thebeginningof the world ; and the book of Joshua 
befiiis with the forty-first year after the departure of the cliildren of Israel ou,t 
of Egypt.

Josnua, being confirmed in liis government by God, sends forth spies from 
Shittiin to the city of Jericho, who, being harboured by Rahab, are privily sent 
away, when searcii is made for them. 

Upon the tenth ilayof the first montli, (April 30) to wit, the same day that the 
rischal Lamb was to be clio^en out of the tlocU, the Israelites under the con- 
cUicl of Joshua, n type of Jesus Christ, go U)! out of the river Jordan into the 
prcipised land of (Janaan, a type of a nio'-e heavenly country. Tliey pass through 
the river on dry ground, tiie waters being for tlie present divided j for a memo- 
rial of whirb miraculous passage, Joshua sets up 12 stones in the very channel 
of Jordan, and taking 12 other stones out of the midst tliereof sets them up at 
Gilgal, the place wiiere they next encamp. 

The day following, Joshua renews the use of circumcision, which had been 
omitted 40 yeai-s. 

Upon the 1 4th day of the same month, in the eve.aing, the Israelites celebrate 
their first passover in the land of Canaan. 

Next day after the passover manna ceaseth. 

Our Lord Jesus, Captain of his leather's host, appears to Joshua, the typic^al 
Jesus, before Jericho, with a drawn sword in his hand, and promiseth there 
to defend his peoplo. I 

Jericho, the ark of the Lord having been carried round about it, is taken the 
seventh day, the walls thereof falling down at the sound of tlie priests' trum- 
pets ; all the inhabitants are put to the sword, except Kahab and her family. 

The Israelites besiege Ai, and are smitten by their enembs, God having aban- 
doned them lor sacrilege committed by Achan : Acban's sin being discovered 
by the CELsting of lots, and himself found guilty, he is st<;ned to death, and, to- 
gether with his children and cattle, burned with fire. God being pacified here- 
by, Ai is taken by ambushment and utterly destroyed. 

On mount Ebal, according to the law made, is an altar erected, and the Ten 
Commandments engi-aven on it; the blessings and cursings are repeated on 
mount Ebol and mount Gerizim, and the book of the law read in the ears of the 
people. 

The kings of Canaan combine against Israel; only the Gibeonites craftily find 
a way to save their own lives by making a league with them ; but arc after- 
wards deputed to the servile offices of the house of Go<l. 

Adoni-ieiiek, king of Jerusalem, with the kings of Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, 
and Eelon, hearing that Giljeon is lallen off" from them, join their forces together 
and besiege it ; but Joshua raisetb the siege, pursueth those five kings, and 
smiteih ihem as far as A/.ekah, the Lord in the meanwhile killing more with 
hailstones from heaven, than the IscTelites with their swords. Joshua com- 
mands the sun to stanil still over Gibeon, and the moon over the valley of Ajalon, 
by the space almost of one whole day, until the Israelites ai'e fully avenged 
of their enemies. The fivo kings hide themselves in a cave at Makkedah ; 
from whence they are brought forth, scornfuliy used, and hanged. 

From the autunm of this year, wherein, after the failing of n.anna, tbey began 
to till the ground, tne rise of the sabbatical years is to be taken. 

Joshua, now grown old, is conmianded by God to divide all the land on the 
west of Jordan among the nine tribes remaining, and the other half-tribe of 
Manasseh. The Lord and Ids sacrifices are the inheritance of Levi. 

The rest of the kings, with whom Joshua b.ad waged war for six years, resolve 
to set upon him with unile<l forces: but Joshua conies upon them unawares, 
slays them, and possesseth their countries. 

Joshua now roots out those giants, the Anakims, with their cities, out of the 
hill-countries, out of Hebron, Debir, and Anab, and generally out of all the 
mountains of Judah and all Israel. And having gotten the whole land into his 
hands, he nivides it amor.g the children of Israel according to their tribes ; and 
the land rested from war. 

The first sabbatical year, or year of rest ; from hence the year of Jubilee, or 
every fifty years' space, is to be reckoned. 

The tabernacle is set up at Shiloh, (thought to be the same with Salcni,) 
where it continued 32B years. 

The Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of ftlanasseh, with a blessing are 
sent home to their possessions on the other side of Jordan. 

Joshuagatbers together all Israel, exhorts them to obedionoe, briefly recites 
G«l's benefits to them, rencweth the covenant between them and God, and 
dieth 110 years old. 

After the <lecease of Josliua, and tlie oUlers who outlived him, and who re- 
membered the wonders which God had wrought for Israel, there succeeds a 
generation of men which forget God, and mingle themselves with the Canaan- 
ites by marriage, and worship their idols. In this time of an.itchy and confu- 
sion, when evei*y man did llial wluch seemed right in his own eyes, all thos*? 
disortlers were committed, which are re})orled in the five la^t chapters of 
the Hook of Judges; to wit, the idul.atiy of iVlicah, and the children of Dan ; the 
w.ir of the Denjamites, and the cause thereof. God, being iiigldy provoked, 
(fives them up iiito the hands ofCushan, king of Mcsopoianua; which first ca- 
lamity of theirs holds them but eight yeai's. 

Othniel, the son of Kenaz, and son-in-law to CiUeb, stirrcil up by God a.s a 
jiulgc and avenger of his people, defeats Cushan, and delivers the Israelites 
out of bondage ; and tlie land rested forty yeais after the first rest wliich Joshua 
procured fiir Ihein. 

Othniel dying, the Israelites fell again to sin against God, and are given over 
into the haiHls of Lglon King of iVloah, who, joining with the Ammonites and 
the Amalekiies, overtiirows the Israelites, and takes Jericho ; and tlds second 
oppressifni continueth 18 years. 

khud the son of Gera is raised up by God to bean avengerof his people; for 
feigning amessage to Eglon, he itjns him into the belly with his dagger; then 
getting away, he gathers all Israel into a body on mount Kphraim, and sl.ays 
lO.tXK) of the most valiant men of Moab ; and tlie land resteth 40 years after the 
former rest obtained by Othniel. 

After him, Shamgar, the son of Anath, slayeth 600 Philistines with an ox- 
goad, and he also avengeth Israel. 

The Israelites, after the death of Ehud, returning to iheir oid sin, are given 
up by God into the hands of Jabiii king of Canaan ; and this thraldom of llieirs 
continueth 20 years. 

Deborah, the wife of Lai)idoth, a prophetess, who at this time judgeth Israel 
in mount Ephraim, and Barak of the tribe of Naphtali, t>eing made captain of 
the host of Israel, in sight of Megiddo, overcomes Siser.a, captain of Jabin's 
army, whom Jael the wife of Heber the Kcnite afterward kills in her own tent. 
For a memorial of which victoi-}' Deborali composeth a song; and tiie lanti 
resteth 40 years after the former rest obtained by Kliud. 

The Israelites sinning again are delivered into the hands of the Midianites ; 
which fourth thraUlom lasteth 7 years. Hereupon they ci^y unto God for help, 
and are reproved by a prophet. Then Gideon the sonofJoash, of Manasseh, is 
by an angel from God sent to deliver them. He first overturns tlie altar of 
Baal and burns his grove, and is called Jcrubhaal. He out of 32,0iX) men, 
which came unto him, chooselh only (God so commanding) 300 : but with 
them he puts to fiight all the host of the JVIidianites, whom the Kphraiinites 
afterward pursue, and slay their princes Oreb and Zeeb. Gideon having 
pacified the EphrJuinites, who complain that tbey were not called to the battle at 
first, piisseth the river Jordan, and defeats the remainder of the Midianitish 
army; he chasliseth also the men of SuccoUi and I'enuel, who had refused 
him victuals in Ids journey; and slays the two kings of the Midianites, Zebah 
and Zalmunna. After which great victories, the Israelites oflering to settle 
the kingdom upon him and his posterity, he refuseth it; but receiving their 
golden ear-rings, he makes thereof an ephod, which afterward proves an occa- 
sion of idolati-}'. The Midianites being thus vanquished, the land enjoys rest 
40 years, after the former rest restored to them by Deboiah and Uaiak; 

Gideon dieth, and the Israelites, falling back agaui to idolatry, worship Baal- 
berith for their god. 

Abimeiech tin* son of Gideon (begotten upon his concubine) purposing to get 

to hhiiself the kingdom which his lather had refused, slayeth 70 of his brothers 

all upon one stone; and havuig by the he'p of the Shechemites got to be made

done, he tlies, and dwells (piieljy in Beer. 

Abimeiech, having reigned three years over Israel. Gn.a! a Shechemite con 
spires against him ; which being discovered to him by Zebul, he utterly desirov'S 
the city of rihechem, ami puts all the inhabitants to the sword, ami b-irns tlie 
temple of their god lierith with fire ; from thence he goeth and I lyeth siege to 
Tliehez, where he is knocked on the head with a piece of a millstone, cast tij.'on 
him by a woman from the walls, and then killed outright by his armour-bearer. 

Tola the son of Puah, after Abimeiech, judgetli Isr.iel 2;'> years. 

Jair the Gileadiie succeeds Tola, and judgeth Israel 22 3'ears. 

The Israelites, fiirsaking again the true Gcd, fab to worship the gods of 
several nations, and ;>re given up into the hands of the Fhilisti''.es and Ammon- 
ites ; which filth thraldom lasteth 13 years. Upon their repentance, and aban- 
doning their idols, at length they obtain mercy. 

Jepluhah the Gileadiie, being made captain of the host of Israel, subdues the 
Ammonites ; before the battle he vows his daughter unawares to be ofiered in 
sacrifice, and al'ierward performs it. He puts to the sword 42,000 tphiaimites, 
who had bchavetl themselves insolently against him, and judgeth Israel 6 years 

Ibzan 'he Uethlehemite succeeils Jephtbah, and judgeth Israel 7 years. 

Elon the Zebulonite succeeds Ibzan, and jui'.geth Israel lOyears. 

Abdon the Ephraimite succeeds Elon, and jutlgeth Israel 8 years. 

Eli the high priest (in whom the high priesthood w.as translated from the fam- 
ily of Eleazar to Itbamar's) succeeds Abdim, a.id judgeth Israel 40 years. The 
Israelites again provoke the Lord to angei , and he delivers them into the hands 
of the Philistines. This sixth thraldom begins seven months afler Eli's entering 
upon the government, and lasteth 40 jears, even till seven months after his 
death, when the ark was brought back again. 

Samson the Na/.arile, as an angel had forelold, is born at Zorah. 

Whilst Eli the high priest execuleth the office of a judge in civil causes 
under the Philisiines, Samson takes an occasion to quarrel with tiiein, by mar- 
rying a woman of Timiwih ; for having on the day of his betrothing propound- 
ed a riddle to the Philistines, and laid a wager, his wife tells them the meaning 
of it: enraged hereat, he goes and slays 30 men of Askelon, and gives thein the 
soils of raiment which he had stilpped ofl^ their bodies, in performance of the 
wager which he liatl lost, anil returns home to his father. 

Samson again in harvest-time goes to present his wife with a kid at her fatlf- 
er's house, but finds her given away in marriage to another man; Samson re 
solves to be revenged; he catches 300 foxes, and tying fiie-brands to their tails, 
turns them all into the corn-fiehls of the Philistines, and ii to their vuieyards, 
and olive-gardens, and sets them all on fire. The Philistines take Samson's 
wile and father-in-law, and burn them ; Samson in revenge slaj's a great multi- 
tude of them, and sits down upon the rock Etam, from whence being taken by 
3000 of the Jews, and by th"iTi delivered into the hands of the PliiTistincs, he 
slays of them a thoas nd men with the jaw-bone of an ass ; in which place he is 
miraculously refreshed. Then thirsty and ready to faint. 

Samson is betrayed by Itelilah his concubine, bereaved of the hair of his Na7- 
ariteship, and delivered to the Philistines, who put out his eyes and bind him 
with chains of brass. The Philistinesgathertogether to offer sacrifice to Pagon 
their god, and Samson is brought to make them sport ; whose hair being grown, 
and his strength in a great measure restored, he takes hold of the two cliief |iil 
lars whereon the house rtood, (wherein were the princes of the Philistines, and 
a great multitude of people) and pulls down the house, killing more men at his 
death, than he did in all his life-time. So hedied. having judged Israel in the 
days of the Philistines 20 vears. 

The Israelites take up arms against the Philistines, but wilh very ill success, 
for they lose 4U00 men in one battle. Then they send for the ark of the cove- 
nant from Shiloh, and cause it to be brought into the camp. The Philistines, 
seeing now all lie at stake, encourage one another to behave themselves like 
men that day ; and so falling on, they slay of the Israelites 30,'X)0 men. The ark 
of God is taken, and Hophiii and Phinelias, priests, and sons of Eli, are slain 
Of all whicii, when tidjngs .are brought to ohl Eii, Irighted thereat, he falls from 
his chair and breaks his neck, in the 98th year of his age. 

The Philistines, having brought the aik into Ashdod, set it in the house of 
Dagon their god. But when Dagon had !>oen found twoseveral times tallen grov- 
elling before it, and broken in pieces, and the inhabitants of the place sorely 
plagued, they remove it from thence to Gath, and from (hence to Ekron. Hut 
the same plagues and judgments following wherever it went, afler 7 months, by 
the advice of their priests, they send home the ark again with presents and 
gifts into the land of the Israelites, and it is brought to Beth-shemesh, where 
50,070 men are smitten for looking into the ark. From hence it is carried to tire 
house of Abinnbail in Kirjath-jearim, who sanctifieth his soi. Eleazj r to koe|) it. 

Alter 20yeai-s the Israelites, by S.^miiel's persuasion, solemnly reiient at Miz- 
peh, and, upon their conversion, Goil by thunder from heaven deiivtH's them 
f'xun Ihe iev.ision of the I'liilistines, who are suWued, the hand of the Lord 
being against ihem all the days ofSamuel. 

Samuel, being grown old, takes for his assistance in the government hi« 
srnis, hy whose ill management of artairs, the Israelites re.-iuiie a king to be 
given them : whereupon God gives thein a king in his wrath, to wit, Saul the 
son of Kish, after Samuel had judged Israel 21 years. Saul is privately 
anointed by Samuel, and afterward publicly proclaimed king at Mizpoh- About 
a month alter Jabesh-gilead is besieged byNahash knigof the Ammonites, and 
the siege raised by Saul : whereupon the whole congregation of Israel, coming 
together at Giigal, again proclaim Saul king. 

David the son of Ji'sse the Eplirathite, born at Beth-lehem-judah SO years 
before he succeeded Saul in the kingdom. He was his father's youngest son. 

God rejects Saul, and sends Samuel to Uelh-leheni, there to anoint David 
king, whom haul ever after extremely persecuteih: 

\ et Jonathan, Saul's son, loveth him, and oftentimes rescueth him from Saul 
cruelty. 

David, having Saul twice in hir, power, forbears to hurt him. 

David, fearing he may some lime or other fall into the hands of Saul, files to 
G.ith unto king Achish, carrying with him 600 men ; and ha.itig obtained of 
him the town of Ziklag to ilwell in, he conliimetli one year ami four montlrs in 
the land of (he Philistines ; from whence he invadeth the countries of the Gesh- 
urites, Gezriti'S, and .Amalekiies, and puts to llie sword all, bulb men and women, 
not leaving one alive to carry the news thereof to King Achish. 

.Achish, proposing to make war upon the Israelites, takes Daviil along viilh 
him in that expedition, ;o whoni, vv'hilst he is upon his march wilh his COO men, 
repaira great many others of the tribe of Manasseh, and join with him. 

Saul, seeing the srmy of ilie Philistines, is in great fe.'ir, aiui (Samuel being 
novv de.ad) goes toEn-dor to consult with a witch there; the woman raiseth an 
appaiilion ofSamuel, and Saul receives from it that lireaill'ul <loom. The Lord 
will deliver Israel, together with thyself, into the hands of the Philistines. 

The princes of the Philistines growing jealous of David, he ami his company 
early the next morning leave the army, an<l return to Ziklag. 

The armies join battle, and the Israelites are defeated ; the three sons of Saul 
are sla'ui, and he himself falls on his own swoiil. 

Three days after, an Amulekite brings Saul's crown, and the bracelet that 
was upon his arm, and presents them to David, professing' that, frudinf, him 
fallen upon his sword, he had Killed him outright, and taken the crown frcm 
o/This head: whereupon David causeth hini to be put to ilea I h, for stretf h n r 
foith his hand to slay the Lor'd's anoiided, anil lainenteth the deati, of Saui a,n 1 
Jonathan his son in a funeral song. David, [i.aving asked counsel of God, goes 
up to Hebron with those that are about him, where he is anointed king by the 
men of Judah, las own tribe, lu the 30ih year of his age; and there he reign, 
seven years and six monJis. 

Aimer, who was captain of the lyistof Saul, carries Isliboshelh, Saul's son If 
Mah.anaim, and there makes him king over the rest of Israel. 

After two years there arise frecjuenl and mortal skirmishes between a party 
of men on David's side, beaded by Joab, David's nephew, and anolberparty oi

Ishboshetli's sii'e, whereof Abner is chief, but the former still grows stronger 
and stronger. 

Abner, affronteil by Ishhosliclh, revoltelh to DaviJ, and deals with the chief 
men ol' Israel to transfer the whole kingdom unlo him, and this in the hewing 
of the lienjamites. 

He comes to David, and is liintlly received ; returning, he is treacherously 
murdered by Joab. David nnich laments his untimely death, and buries him at 
Hebron. 

liaauali and Decliab murder their lord and master Ishbosheth, as he lieth 
lesiing himself upon his bed. They bring his head to David, who in detesta- 
tion of their treason causeth them immediaiely to be put to tleath. 

'riie captains aiic. elders of all the iriiies coming to Hebron, anoint David a 
third time, and make him king over all Israel. 

David with all Israel marclieth to .lerusalem against the Jehusites, and taketh 
tlie fort of Zion, and calls it the city of David, and making Jerusalem the scat of 
his kingdom, reignelh there over all Israel 33 years. 

The ark of t!:e covenant, which in the first sabliatic.il year was brought from 
fiilgal to Shiloh, is this year, lieing also a .sa'obatioal year, brought iVom Kir- 
jatii-jcnrim out of the house of Abinadab, and placed at Zion; 30,000 choice 
men of Israel attending it, and singing the fiStb Psalm. 

David now dwelling in his bou.se of cedar, wliich he had built, and living in 
a full and perfect peace, imparteth loXaliian the pro|ihet his purpose of buildir;g I 
a house for Ood ; but is an.' wered from God, thatthis was a work which should be 
done, not by him, because he was a man of blood, and trained up in war; but 
by his son Solomon, a man of peace, which should be born unto hini. The time 
which passeih iVom hence til) the birth of Solomon is spent in wars ; wherein 
David subdues the Philistines, Kdoniites, ,A.malekites, Mnabites, Ammonites, 
and Syrians, and extends his kingdom to the utmost bound of that laud which 
had been pi-omised to the seed of Aljraham, and never possessed by any of them, 
save only by David and his son Solomon. 

At the end of this year Joab, going with the army against the Ammonites, 
besiegeih Ilabbah, ijie metropolis of Amnion, whilst David lakes his ease at Je- 
rusalem, and there commits adultery with Uathsheba the wife of Uriah the Hit- 
tite, who was then in the army, w bom he also procures to be slain. 

The child so gotten in adultery is born. David is convicted by Nathan the 
prophet of his sin, and he repents"; in testimony whereof be composeth the 51sl 
Psalm. The child dietli. 

Bathsbeba becomes now David's wife, and bearetli him a son, unto whom, as 
unto one who should prove a man of peace, (jod gives the name of Solomon ; 
and, as to one behived of the Lord, the name of Jedidiah. 

Amnon, David's eldest son, deflourelh his sister Taniar. 

Alisalom avengeth his sister Tamar, and kiHeth his Drother Amnon ; for which 
thing he fleeth to Geshtir in Syria, where he continues three years with king 
Talmai, his grandfather by the mother's side. 

After tliree years e.xUe he returns to Jerusalem, where he continues two 
year.s, before the king his father admits him into Ids presence, and is reconciled 
to him. 

This rebel son, having got chariots and horses, and a guaril to attend him, 
insinuates himself into the favour of the people, and steals away their hearts 
from his fat*ier David. 

The ne.li year follow ing, mu'.er pretence of a vow, he obtaineth leave to go to 
Hebron, where, by Ahithophel's counsel, be breaks out into oper rebellion, and 
forceth his father to fly from Jerusalem. 

Ahithophel, because his counsel in all matters is not followed by Absalom, 
hangs himself. 

Absalom, having lost 20,000 men, fleeth. and a bough of an oak catching liold 
of him, he there hangs, and is run through by Joab. 

David, tempted by Satan, comniandeth Joab to number the people: God, 
ofTended theitat, sends a prophet to put tJiree plagues to Ills choice, viz. the 
famine, sword, or pestilence. David chooselh lo fall into the hands of a merci- 
ful Goti, rather than into the hands of men. So God sends a pestilence, whereof 
70,000 men die in one day. The angel being about to destroy Jerusalem. God 
bids him hold his hand ; for he beholds Davi^l repenting in sackcloth, and en- 
tieating him to spare the Innocent people, and to turn his hand upon himself, 
and upoi: his father's house. 

Uehoboam is born unto Sulomon by Naainah, an Ammonitisli woman. 

David, beii){>' now 70 years of age, and broken with ctmtiiuinl cares and wars, 
grows so weak and feeble, that clothes aw no longer preserve heat in hmi. 
Therefore Abishag, a young virgin, is appointed to keep him warm. Adoiiijah, 
seeing his father thus declining, by the assistance of Joab and Abiathar, makes 
himself king; which David understanding, he presently commands Zadok the 
priest, and Nathan the prophet, with other great men, to anoint Solomon king. 
Adonijah hearing this, betakes liimself to the sanctuary, and is pardoned. 

David, having given instruclioiis to his son Solomon, dietli ; after he had 
reigned in Hebron seven years and six months, and 33 years in Jerusalem over 
all Israel. 

Pharaoh, king of Egj'^it, gives his daughter in marriage to Sotimion. 

The Lord appears to Solomon in a dream, mid bids him ask what he will, and 
it shall be given him. Soiomop asketh wisdom; God gives him wisdom from 
above, and adds thereunto riches and honour. Of this divine wisdom Solomon 
makes an eminent manifestation in judging between two harlots. 

Tkcffth Age of the IVorld. 

SOLOMON layeth the foundation of the temple in the 480tli year after the de- 
parture rvf the children of Israel out of Egypt. 

Solomon's temple finished >n the eleventh year of his reign ; having been 
seven years and a half in building. 

Solomon this year (being the 0th Jubilee, and opening the fourth Millenary 
of the world) with great magnificence celebrates the dedication of the temple, 
at which time God giveth a visible sign of his favour. 

Solomon having, as it is with reason believed, forsaken his lusts and vanities, 
to which he had been too inteniperaicly addicted, and written, as a testimony 
of his repentance, his book called. The Preacher, dieili. He reigned 40 years. 

The Israelites a.ssemble at Shechem to crown Kelioboam, Solomon's son, 
king over all Israel. The jieople by Jeroboam sue unto him for a removal of 
some grie\ances; to whom Keboboam, by the advice of young men, returning 
a harsh answer, alienates the hearts often tribes from him, win make J eroboam 
king over them, and fall at the same time from the house of Liavid, and from 
the true worship of God. 

Jeroboam, in the beginning ol his reign, repairs Shechem, destroyed by 
Abimelech 2A8 years before, and there dwells ; afterward jjoing over Jordan he 
builds PenucI, and .U lengtJi makes Tirzali the seat of his king.lom. But f(;aring 
lest his new subjects by going to Jerusalem to worship, may be induced to revolt 
IVom him, he devisetb a new form of religion, setting up two golden calves, the 
one at Ileth-el, the otner at Dan, for the seduced people to bow down unto. 

l-'roni the lime of this dismal rent Kehoboam reignelh over Judah and Ben- 
jamin 17 years, anil Jerobo-im over Israel, or the other ten tribes, 22 years. 

The Priests and Leviles, and other Israelites who feared God, stick to Reho- 
Ixiam, and niaintaiti the kingdom of Judah three years; after which time Reho- 
bonm falls to idolatiy, and w alkelh no more in the ways of David and Solomon. 

Jcrohoani sacrificing to his calf at Beth-el, a prophet is sent unto hiir from 
God, wl.o foretells the judgment wiiich should one day be executerl upon that 
altar, and the priests (vii. tho.se whom Jeroboam h;id made of the lowest of the 
people) that served at it. VVliich prophecy then and there is confirmed by 
signs and wonders upon the king himself, and upon the altar. 

Shishak kuig of Egypt spoileth Jerusalem and the ten. pie ; but the king and 
the princes repenting at the preaching of Sheinaiali the prophet, God gives 
Ihem not over to utter destruction. 

Abijain the son of Rehoboam succeeds Ms father in the kingdom of Judah, 
and reigns three years. 

He obtains a great victory over Jeroboam, killeth 500,090 men ill one battle, 
land takelh Beth-el.

Asa in the twentieth year of Jeroboam suceecds lita father Abijam, and relgnt 
41 years. 

Nadab in the second yenr of Asa succeedeth his father Jeroboam in the king- 
dom of Israel, and reignetli not full two years. 

Nadab at tlie siege of Gilibethon (a town of the Philistines) is slain by Baaiha 
of the tribe of Issachar in the third year of Asa ; and the same year having 
made himself king over Israel, he utterly destroyeth the whole race of Jerobo- 
am, and reigneth 24 years. At this time lived the prophets Jehu, Hanani, and 
Azarias. 

Asa destroyeth idolati'y, and, enjoying ten years of peace, strengthens his 
kingilom with forts and a standing army. 

Zerah the Ethiopian with an innumerable army invadeth Judah : Asa over- 
comes him, sacrificeth to God of the spoil, and maketh a solemn covenant with 
God. He also deposeth Maachah his gi-andmother, a great patroness of idol- 
atry ; brtngeth into the temple those things whicli his father and himself had 
consecr.ited unto God, and enjoys a long peace. 

Elah the son of Uaaslia succeeds his father in the kingdom of Israel. 

In the second year of bis reign, and the twenty-seventh of Asa's, Zimri, one 
of his captains, conspires against him, kills him, and reigneth in his stead. As 
soon as he sits in the throne, he destroyeth the whole family of Baasha ; but the 
army which then lay before Gilibethon makes Oinri their king, who presently 
besiegeth Tiriah, and takelh it; which Zimri seeing, he sets on fire tlie king'» 
palace, and jierislieth in the flames. 

The people of Israel are now divided into two factions ; one follows Tibnl 
the son of Ginath, and endeavours to make him king ; the other adheres to Omri , 
but Tibni dying, Omri reigns alone in the 3Ist year of Asa. 

Omri having reigned six years in Tirzah, removes the seat of his kingdom to 
Samaria, a place which he himself had built. 

Ahab succeeds his father in the kingdom of Israel, and reigneth 22 years in 
Samaria. He did evil in the sicht of the Lord above all that were before him. 

Jehoshaphat succeedeth his father Asa in the fourth year of Ahab king of 
Israel, and reigneth 25 years in Jerusalem. 

Jehoshaphat being settled in his kingdom, and having demolished the high 
places and groves, in the third vear of his reign he sends Levites with the 
princes to instruct the people in the law. God in the meantime subduetli his 
enemies under him. 

Beii-hadad king of Syria layeth siege to Samaria, who by the direction of a 
prophet is beaten oiT, and a vast number of the Svrians slain. 

Ahab, not being able to persuade Naboth to sell him his vineyard, falls sick 
upon it ; Jezebel his wif?, suborning false witnesses to accuse him of blasphemy, 
causeth Naboth to be stoned, and puts the king in possession of the vineyard. 
Whereupon the prophet Elijah denouncelh judgments against Ahab and Jez 
ebel; wicked Ahab repenting, God defers the judgment. 

Ahab in the seventeenth year of the reign of Jehoshaphat malceth his son 
Ahaziah his associate in the government of his kingdom. 

Jehoshaphat also maketh Jehorain his son.coMrtner with him ; whence it Is, 
that Jehoram the son of Ahab, who succeeded his brother Ahaziah in the king- 
dom of Israel, in the 18th year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, is said to have 
begun his reign in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat. 

Aliab having got Jehoshaphat to assist him in the siege of Ramoth-gilend, 
before he goes, he ,-isketli counsel o'' 400 false prophets, who promise him vic- 
tory and success; btU by Jehoshaphat's advice Micaiah, a true prophet of God, 
is consulted, who foretells his overthrow ; and according to his word Ahab is 
slain at Ramoth-gilead, and buried at Samaria. 

Ahab being dead, the Moabiies revolt from Israel, who had continued In sub- 
jection ever since king David's days. 

Ahaziah king of Israel, lying ill'of a fall, sends to consult Baal-zebub the god 
of f;kron concerning bis recovery. Elijah the prophet meeteth the messenger 
and telleth him Ahaziah snail surely die; whereupon two captains over fifty 
men apiece are sent to apprehend him, and bring him before the king; Elijah 
calleth for fire from heaven, and destroyeth both them and their companies. A 
third captain with his fifty men being sent, and behaving himself submissively, 
Elijah goes along with him; the prophet certifies the king that he shall not 
come down from his bed alive. So Ahaziah dieth having governed (partly by 
himsel?, and partly together with his father) two year.^. 

Jehoram succeedeth his brother Ahaziah in the kingdom of Israel in the latter 
end of the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat, and reigneth twelve years. 

Elijah is taken up into heaven in a fiery chariot. 

Jehoshaphat grown old gives to his sons many gifts with fenced citie.'! in 
Jndea ; but his eldest son Jehoram he now more absolutely investeth with the 
throne of the kingdom in the fifth year of Jehoram king of Israel. 

Jehoram now, by the death of his father, has the kingdom of Judah to him- 
self, which he holds four years. He is no sooner settled in his throne, but he 
puts all his brethren to the sword, with many of the princes of Israel. At this 
time the Kdoniites, who ever since king David's time had lived in subjection to 
Juiiali, revolt, and (as it was foretold by Isaac) they forever shake ofi'his yoke 
Libnah also, a city of the priests in the tiiiie of Judah, falls ofiTromhim aliout 
this time. 

Jehoram following the counsel of his wicked wife Athaliah, the daughter of 
Ahab king of Israel, sets up in Judah, and even in Jerusnlein itself, the idolatrous 
worship of Baal, and compels hia subjects thereto; a letter which was left for 
him by Elijah the jirophet comes to his hands, whicli reproves him, and denoun. 
ces all those calamities and punishments which afterward befell him. 

Ahaziah succeeds Ids father in the kingdom of Judah (having had part of the 
government bestowefl upon him the year before) in the 12lh year of Jehoram 
king of Israel, and reigneth one year in Jerusalem. 

Jehoram king of Israel, and Ahaziah king of .Tudah, lead their armies to 
Hamotli-gilead against Hazael, who had newly succeeded Ben-hadad in the 
kingdom of Syria; Jehoram is dangerously wounded, and retires himself to 
Jezreel to be cured. In the meantime Elisha sendeth a young prophet with 
instructions to anoint Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Ninishi, at R«t 
nioth-gilead, kiner over Israel, and to open to him the will of God for the rootinp 
out of the house of Ahab; who, beingproclaimed king by the soldiers, marcheth 
straight to Jezreel, killeth Jehoram in the field of Naboth, and causeth Jezebel 
to be cast out at a window, where she is eaten by dogs. He despatcheth letters also 
to Samaria, and causeth seventy of Aliab's children lobe beheaded. Then taking 
with him Jelioiiadab the son of Rechab, he comes himself to Samaria, and de- 
stroys the whole family of Ahab, and all the priests of Baal. Nevertheless, hav- 
ing put down the worship of Baal, he departs not from the worship of Jero- 
boam's golden calves, but maintains tliat idolatry all the time of his reign, which 
was 28 years. 

Jehu proceeds farther, and executes the divine vengeance upon the idola^ 
trous house of Judali ; he pursues Ahaziah, wlio fled towards Megiddo, and over- 
taking him at Gur, causeth him to be killed in his chariot. Going also to Samei- 
ria, lie meeteth with 42 of Ahaziah's kinsmen, whom he causeth to be slain. 

Athaliah the daughter of Ahab, seeing her son Ahaziah dead, usurps the king"- 
dom, destroying those that had right to the succession ; but Jehosheba the daugh- 
ter of king Jehoram, and wife to Jelioiada the high priest, takes J ehoQsh, being 
then an infant, and son to her brother Ahaziah, and hides him in the temiile, 
and so saves him from that massacre which was made of the rest of the blood 
royal. 

Jelioiada the high priest brings out Jehoash. now seven years old, and anoints 
him king ; causeth Athaliah to be slain, and restoreth the wor.ship of Uie true 
God, destroying the house of Baal, and commanding the idolatrous priest 
Malum to be killed before his altars. Jehoash, now beginning Iiis reign in tlie 
seventh year of Jehu, reigneth 40 years in Jerusalem. 

Jehoash, in the 23tt year of his reign, giveth order for the repair of the tem 
pie, committing the charge thereof to Jehoiada the high priest. 

Jehoahaz succeedeth his father Jehu in tlie kingdom of Israel, and reigneth 
17years: during all which time Hazael kit -^ of Syria oppresseth him, and ex 
ercisetli all those cruelties upon the Israelitw*, which Elisha the prophet had 
foretold.

T/ie sixth A^e. 



Jehofuh, the son of J ehorvhaz king of Israel, is talipn into the comortsliip of 
thai kingdom by his futlier in the 27ih year of JeUoash king of Juiiah, ami 
reignelli 16 years. 

Zerhnrialu tlie son of Jelioiaila tlie higli priest, for reproving tlie people o( 
Judah that fall to idolatry after the decease of Jelioiada, is stoned to death in 
the court of the house of the Lord hy the commandment of king Jelioasli, who 
the next year after is murdered liy some of his servants, as he lay in liis lied ; 
and Amaziah his son succeedeih him. 

Jehoahaz (Ueth, and Jehoash his son sucreedeth in the kingdom of Israel. 
Not long after his father's funeral he visits Elisha the propliet, then Ij'ing si««, 
and with many tears asketh counsel of him, who promibeth him victon' over the 
Syrians. A dead man is 'nought to life by being laid in EUfha's grave. 

Jeroboam the second is this year taken into the consoi-tship of the kingdom 
of Israel by his father Jehoash, going to war against the Syrians. Tliis is gath- 
ered from Azariali kingof Jndah's beginning his reign in the 27th year of this 
Jeroboara. 

Aniaziah king of Judah, growing proud upon a victoiy obtained ag^ainst the 
Kdomites th'S 14ih year of his reign, pro\okelli Jehoash king of Israel to battle. 
Jehoash overromes liini, and takes him prisoner, breaks down 400 cubits of the 
wall of Jerusalem, and havim:' spoiled the temple and the king's house of a vast 
treasure, returns to Santaria. 

Jehoash dies fifteen years before Amaziah, and Jeroboam tlie second, his son, 
reigneth in Samaria 41 years. 

Amaziah, finding a conspiracy against him at Jerusalem, flies to Lachish, 
where lie is murdered; after whom comes his son LJzziah, or Azariah, in the 
27th year of Jeroboam the second, and reigneth 52 years in Jerusalem. 

Now is held the 13th Jubilee under the two most riourishing kings j in whose 
times live sundry great prophets in both kingdoms ; Isaiah and Joel in Judah ; 
Jonas, Hosea, and Amos, in IsraeL 

Jonas of Gaih-hepher, a town belonging to tlie tribe of Zebulon in Galilee of 
the Gentiles, (observe here the blindness of the Pharisees, Joiin vii. 52.) wasaf- 
ter^va^d sent into Nineveh, the metropolis of Assyria, where both king and peo- 
ple at his preacliing repented. 

Jeroboam king of Israel (under whom that kingdom came to its full height 
of glory) dieth; after his death all things fall into confusion, and the state is 
reduced to a plain anarchy, which lasteth 11 years and a h.alf •, for such an in- 
ten'egnum or vacancy the synchronism of Kings requires, that the six months 
of Zarhariah the son of Jeroboam may Answer the 38 years and one n>ontli of 
Sliallum,who murdered himint'^e 39th year of Azariah, or Uzziah,kln^of Jiidah. 
Zachariah the son of Je-oboan^, the 4th and last of the race of Jehu (as was 
foretoid) begins his reign over Israel in the 38th year of Azariah, cr Uzziah, 
king of Judah, and reigneth 6 months. 

Snallum the son of Jabesh, at tiie end of 6 months, murders him in the sight 
of the people, and reigns one month in the 39th year of Uzziah king of Judah. 
After Zachariah's death follow those direful calamities foretold by Amos tlie 
prophet. 

Menahem the son of Gadi going from Tirzah to Samaria, kiUeth Shallum, 
wasteth Tiphsah and the Iiorders thereof; and because the towii would not open 
to him, he takes it, and rips up all the women with child. 

While Menahem in these b.-oils labours to get the jiossessiou of the kingdom, 
Pul king of Assyria invadeth his countrj-, to whom Menahem giveth 1000 tal- 
ents of silver, and afterward reigneth quietly 10 year? 

Tekahiah succeedoth his father Menahem in the SOlh year of Uzziah king of 
Judah, and reigneth 2 years. 

Peiah,one of his captains, kills him in his own palace at Samaria, and reign- 
eth 20 years. 

Jotham succeedcth his fatlier Uzziah in the kingdom of Judah at the age of 
25 years, and reigneth IGyearsin Jerusalem. 

Jotham subdues the Ammonites, and makes them tributary for 3 years. Un- 
der him and his two successors the jiropliets Micah ami Hosea execute their 
prophetical oflice. About tliis time lived the prophet Kahum, and prophesied 
the destruction of Nineveh. 

Ahaz succeedeth his father Jotham in the 17th year of Pekah king of Israel, 
and reignedi 16 years. 

This year Kezin king of Syria and Pekah king of Israel are confederate 
against Judah, which strikes a great terror into that nation; but unto Ahaz, 
God, Ijy the prophet Is<uah, sends a gracious message, with a promise of deliver- 
ance ; for a sign whereof (when the incredulous king, being bid to ask a sign, 
refused to do it) God gives hiir. the promise of Imnianuel to be born of a virgin. 
Rezin anc' Pekah now lay siege lo Jerusalem, and therein to Ahaz, but are beat- 
en off; Aliaz is no sooner delivered froi.i his enemies, but he forsakes God his 
deliverer, and falls lo idolatry. Wherelbre God gives l;iin over into the hands 
of the king ot Israel, who slays of the men of Judah 120,000 in one day, witli a 
great many of the nobility, and carrieth away 20U,0O0 captives ; but these, by 
the advice of the proiihet Oded, ire released and sent home. 

lloshea the son of Elah murders Pekah king of Israel, and gets the kingdom 
into his ownhanus; it is said, in the 20th year of Jotham, that is, from ihetime 
that Jotham first began to reign, which is the same with the 4th of .^liaz h'.- 
son. Hoshea, by reason of the tumutts and disorders which ensued^ cannot lie 
said to have reigned till 9 years after, the state continuing all that tune in great 
confusion, without auy form of government. 

Slialnianeser, king of Assyria, comes up against Hoshea, and makes him to 
serve him, and pay him tribute. 

Hezekiah succeedeth his father Ahaz in the kingdom of Judah: he destioyeth 
idolatiy and prospers: he aUo celeljrates a solemn passover, .nnd reigneth 29 
years in Jerusalem ; his father had made him in the last year of his reign, his 
assistant in the government. 

Hoshea king of Israel, having consulted with So king of Egypt, refuseth to pay 
tiibute to Shalmaiieser; provoked hereby, and jealous of some fartlier design 
in (hat confederacy of Hoshea with the king of I'^gvpt, Slialnianeser layeth siege 
to Samaria, and toward the latter end of the third year taketh it, and carrieth 
away the Israelites captive into his own country. Tliis was the end of the king- 
dom of Israel, when it had stoiKl divided from the kingdom of Judah 254 years. 
Sennacherib king of Assyria, coming up against liidah, besiegeth their fen- 
ced cities, and taketh many of them, but is pacified by a tribute. 

About this time Hezekiah falls sick, and is told by Isaiali that he shall die ; 
but [muring out his tears and prayers unto Gotl, he recoverelh his health, and 
obtaineth a prolongation ofhis life and kingdom for 15 years. For a sign where- 
of the sui. goes ten degrees backward. 

Sennacherib,not observing the anicles of peace, layeth siege to Jerusalem, and 
sendeth a blasphemous letter to Hezekiah ; which he opening, and spieatling 
before the Lord in the temple with m;uiy teai-s, craves assistan.-e from God 
against the Assyrians. Whereupon the prophet Isaiah assures him tliat God 
will deliver bim, and defend ihatcity. The self-same night an angel of the Lor>i 
slays 1 R5,000 men in the Assyrian army ; and the next iiiorning Sennacherib de- 
|>artctli, and returns to Nineveh ; where not long after, whilst Le is worshipping 
in the bouse of Nisroch his god, he is slain by his own sons. 

Manasseh at 12years of age succeedeth his lather Hezekiah, and reigneth 55 
years. He seiteth up idolatry, and sheddeth m.-cb innocent blood. Wherefore 
God delivers him up into the hands of tlie Assyrians, who in the 22d year of his 
reign carry him away captive to Babylon : but upon his repentance God restores 
him to his liberty and kingdom. 

This year Nabuchodonosor king of Assyria, purjiosing to make himself uni- 
versal monarch, sends Holofernes his general against .ludea, who layeth siege 
to Bclhulia, and there hath his head taken off by Judith, a woman of the tribe 
of Simeon. 

Anion, aged 22 years, succeedetb his father Manasseh, and reigneth 2 years. 
An iUol.iter indeed, as his father, but no penitent: he is murtlered by his own 
servants. 

Josiah, a child of 8 years old, succeedeth his fatlier Amon, and reigneth 31 
years. In his time Iive4 Jeremiali and Zlephaniah the prophets, and Hiildali 
liiK pro^lictcsii.

In the 12lh year ol his reign, he begins a refirhiation i.i Judah and Jerusa 
lem, and carries it on successl'ully. 

This year he givetli order for the repair of the temple. Itilkian the high 
priest, having found n book of the law, sends it to the king. m1:c l;i-iirs it read 
all over to bim; and thereupon asketh counsel of Hiddali the proiilieiess, who 
prophesieili the destruction of Jerusalem, but notin his days. .losiali calling to 
him the elders of Judah and Jerusalem, with the priests ind prophets, rnuseih 
the book of the law lo be read over before all the people, a. id reneweili tlie cov- 
enant between God and his people; he burnetii also t-ead men's bnncs upon 
the altar at Beth-el, as w as foretold ; and keepeth a nio.st solemn passover. 

A\. this time a war lueaks out between the king of Egypt ami the king of As- 
syria. Josiah unadvisedly engogeth in this war against ivecho king of Egyplj 
and is slain in the valley of I\legiddo. The good king being thus t.nUen out ol 
the world, whose life only kept off the Babylonish captivity from that nation, 
not only the people then living bewiuled his death, but even in after time a pub- 
lic mourning for him was kept. The prophet .leremy also in renienibr^mce 
thereof romposeth his Lamentsitions ; wlierein bewailing the calamities which 
were shortly to befell that people, as piesent before his eyes, in a most compas- 
sionate manner be points, as it Averc with liis finger, at the death of Josiah as 
the source and original of all those ensuing miseries. 

After the death of Josiah, the people anoint Shalbini, one ofhis younger sons, 
to he their king. After three montks reign he is deposed by Pharaoh Neclio, 
who mfikes Eliakim, his elder brother, kin^ over Judah and Jernsnlem, and 
changes his name into Jehciiukini; but Jwioajiaz he curries along with him 
captive into Egypt, where he ends his days. 
Jehoiakim, at 25 j'cars of age, begins to reign, and he reigneth 11 years. 
L'riah and Jeremiah prophesy against Jerusalem ; the former is put to death, 
the hitter is acquitted, and set at liberty. About this time Kabakkuk also 
prophesieth. 

This year is Nebuchachlczzar the great made by his father Nebopolazzar his 
associate in the kingdom of Assyria and Babylon ; into whose hands God de- 
livers up Jeboijikim, who is put in chains to be carried to Babylon; but upon 
his submission and promises of oberlience is left in his own house, where he 
lives a servant to Nebucliadnezzar 3 years. From which entering of the "king 
and people of the Jews into the subjection and service of Neburhodnezzar are 
the 70 years of the cajitlvity of Babylon to be reckoned, which were foretold by 
thejirophet Jeremy. 

Nebuchadnezzar gives order to Ashpenaz, master of the eunuchs, that he 
shall carry from thence of the children of Israel, bvitli of the blocd royal (ns was 
foretold by the ])rophet Isaiah to Hezekiah)and also of the nobi'ity the choicest 
youths lioth for beauty and wii that lie can find ; who, being educated 3 years 
in the language and sciences of the Chaldeans, may afterward be fit ta serve 
the king in his palace; among whom, of the tribe of Judah, .ire Daniel, called 
UeltesiiazzeU-; llimaniah, callal Shadrach ; Mishael, called Meshach ; and Az- 
ariah, called -ibed-iiego ; their names Ijeing thus changed by the master of the 
eunuchs. 

Whilst Nebuchadnezzar pursues his victories over the king of Eg>"pt, his 
father dies; which coming to his knowledge, he gives order for the bringing 
away of the taptives, and posts with a smaU company the nearest way to Baby- 
lon, where hn is received as tiie lawful successor to his father's dominions, lie 
causeth to be brought to Babylon what he thinks fit of the vessels .tnd fumiiure 
of thetemj'le, and jilaceih them in the house ofhis god, viz. Belus. 

Jehoiakiin, having lived 3 years in subjection to the king of Babylon, falls off. 
and rebels against him. 

This year (being the second of Nebvicliadnezzar's reign, taking it as it begai] 
at bis father's death,) Daniel recovers Nebuchadnezzar's drenin. and interprets 
it to betoken the foiu- chief monarchies ; whercuiion he ami his companions 
i\re highly advanced. 

Nebuchadnezzar sends an army, consisting of Chaldeans, Syrians, Monbites, 
and Ammonites, against Jehoiakim; these waste the whole country of Judra, 
and cari-y away from thence 3023 captives; Jehoiakim also is taken pri:x;>T*'r; 
whom they put to death, cause bis carcass to be drown out at the gate of .'er;i- 
salem (as was foretold by the prophet Jeremiah) and leave itwiUiout the walls 
unburied. 

Jehoiachin (called also Conias and Jeconias) at 18 years of age succeeds his 
father Jehoiakiin, and reigns 3 months in Jerusalem. 

Against him Nebuchadnezzar leads an army, and besiegeth Jenis:ilcm ; ,"^eho- 
iacliin with all his kindred and courtiers come out to meet him. Nebuch.-.i'.nez 
zar makes them all prisoners, enters Jerusalem, and takes all the treasure h-? can 
liml in the temple and the king's palace, breaking in pieces all the vessi Is of 
gold and furniture which Solomon hod made for the temple ; he carrieth away 
capli\e to Babylon the king, his mother, wives, courtiers, magistrates, and 
I0,iX)O able men out of Jerusalem, leaving none l>ehind but tiie poorer sort of 
[leople; and out of the country round about he carried also away eO()0 artificers; 
among the capti%'es are Mordecai, and Ezekiel the priest ; Ezekiel therefore in 
his prophecy reckons the time all along from the beginning of this captivity 
An epistle, said to be Jeremiah's, is now sent to the captives, admonishing tliein 
10 beware of the idolat.-y which they shall see in Babylon. 

Nebuchadnezzar before his depai*ture from Jerusalem makes Maltaniah, Jelio 
iachin's lather's brother, king, changing his name into Zedekiab. 

Zedekiali, beginning bis reign at 21 years of age, reigneth 1 1 years ; he, by w 
belling ag:iinsi"Nebiichadnezzar, or rather by continuing in an open rebellion 
(;i5 his fathers had (iop.e) against God, brought upon Jerusalem and the whole 
nation of the Jews those long.<leserved calamities which God had so often fore- 
warned them of by his prophets; for, in the latter end of the llth yt^nr of Zet'e- 
kiah, Jerusalem, after a long siege, is taken by Nebuchadnezzar. 3:id his Chal- 
deans enter it. Zedekiab flees away by night, 'but, being jnirsued, is taken, aiui 
brought prisoner to Riblah, Neliucliadnezzar's head quarters; there having first 
seen his children slaughtered before his eyes, he has afterward those eyes put 
out, antl being loaden with chains, is carried away captive to Babylon. About a 
niontli after the takingof the city, Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, sent by 
Nebuchadnezzar, makes his entry into it, sets fire to the temple, the king's palace, 
and some noblemen's houses, and so layeth the whole city in ashes ; the walls of 
Jerusalem oeing .•';ized to the ground, all that were left in the city, and those that 
a little before had fallen to the Chaldeans, with what treasure he can find, doth 
Nebuzar-atian carry with bim into liabylon- 

And thus was Judah carried out of her own land 460 years after David began 
to reign over it, So8 years after the falling pff of the ten tribes, and 134 years 
after the destruction of the kingdom of Israel. 

Obadiali ilie prophet denounceth God's judgments against the Edomites, who 
now insult over tne calamity of the Jews. The same do Jeremy and Eze- 
kiel, and the author of the 70th and 137th Psatn.s, who wrote all about the 
same titne. 

Tfte sixth A;c of Ihi Wmld, 

NEBUCHADNEZZAR, proud ofhis victories oyer Egy)>t, and his conquesi 
of Judca and other countries, and boasting the magnificence ofhis buiht- 
inge, falls distracted, and is thiven from the society of men. 

After seven years spent among the beasts of the fieUl, his understanding re- 
turning to hinij he humbly ackiiowledgeth the power of God, and bis goodness 
toward him: and is restored to Ills kingdom- A few days after be dies, having 
reigned about 20 nionths together with his father, and 43 years by himself. 

Evil-merodacli his son succeedf. him m the S7th year of the captivity ol Je- 
hoiachin, or Jeconiali, who presently gives order for the enlargement of .Vlio- 
iachin, and two days after changeth his prison-clothes, sets him above all the 
princes ofhis court, and causeth him to eat at his ow^n table. Jehoiachin dies 
about two years after. 

Belshazzar, having removed some persons who had murdered his father Evi^ 
merodacb, and usurped his throne, succeeds in the kingdom of Babyh-n. InthQ 
first year of this king's reign Daniel has the vision of the four beasts, signilyina 
the foiu- monarchies of the world, and of God delivering over ^U pQUter aaa 
I wvereignty to the Son of man.

in thp third year of Belsha».tar, Daniel feiC.felVtss ttie Visi )n of i!ip rim and lie- 
goat, Ijptoksning the tiestritctionofllie Persian monarchy, and the g''eat misery 
which Antiochus should brin^ u|)on the people of tr(j(l. 

This year lielsliazzar makes a p^reat feast for all his nobles, an(i causeth to 
be brought forth all the vessels of the bouse of the L(u'd, which Nehuchadnezzar 
ills g-nindfalher had brouijht away from .lerusalem, to the glory of his idols, 
and dishouour of tlie true God. In the midst of ail this jollily a hand appears 
wrilirig on the wail of the room in ^vhicll the king and his minier'uis guests sit 
drinkinij. The king, greatly terrified hereat, seiuls for his Chahleau astrologers 
and Wizards, iintl commands them to read the writing, and give him the intei- 
in'elali'in of it , but they not being able to do either, Daniel is sent for, who 
reatls the writing,and gives the kingthe interpretation of it: whereupon Dan- 
iel is publicly proclaimed the third m.nn in the kingdom. The same night 15el- 
shazzar is sJain, Babylon taken by Cyrus, and the empire translated to the 
Tdedes and Persians, as had been sundry times foretold by the prophets. 

C:\Tus having given the kingtloin of Babylon to Darius the Metle. reserving 
some palaces in tiie city for himself, he returns through Bledia into Persia. 

L>aniel's greatness raising envy in some principal courtiers and officers, these 
contrive his ruin ; but finding nothing in his inanageniert of affairs whereof to 
accuse him, they resolve to order matters so, .'•■.at Danipl's piety toward God 
slirdl become an oflence worthy of death. They move the king to make a de- 
cree, that '"'.p -'43 days no petition shall be made to any god or man but to him- 
self onlti. Whicii decree Daniel breaks by making supplication to his God, and 
is for (icing so cast into a den of lions : but being fountl to have recei^-ed no 
hurt there, Darius commands the conspirators to be cast into the same <len, who 
are presently tievoured ; and the king publisheth a decree, that all persons 
throughout Ills dominions shall reverence and fear the God of Daniel. 

Towards the end of the first vearof the reign of Dariusthe I\lede,to be reck- 
oned from the subversion of Ihe Babylonish empire, begins the 70lh yea»- of tiie 
cajitivity of the Jews, which, hy .Jeremiah's prophecy, was to be the last year of 
Ui"ir csilaniity. Upon consideration of which time so near at hand, Daniel 
pours out most fervent prayei'S to God for the remission of his own sins, and 
those of his people •, and for that promised deliverance out of their captivity, 
'f (. whom the angel Gabriel brings an answer not only of tiiis, but also of the 
spiritual deliverance of the church by the death of the Messiah ; uttering tliat 
memor.able prophecy of the seventy weeks. 

Cyrus, his father Cambyses, ami his father-in-law Cyaxares both dying, Persia 
falls to hhii by inheritance, .and Media by contract of marriage: and so he is 
possessed of the whole eastern empire; from which time both Xenophon (Inst, 
lib. (:■) reckons the 7 years r,f his reign, and the Holy Scripture out of the rec- 
ords of the Medes and Persians, reckons this liis first year; for it teacheth us, 
that in this year came forth that renowned edict of his. Thus saith Cyrus king 
of Persia, The Lord God of heaven hath given me all the kiniri-lonis of the earth, 
and hath charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem which Is in Jndah, i.c. 
At which time the 70 years of the Labylonish ca]itivity being expired, (as was 
foretold by Isaiah and Jeremiah, the former making mention of Cyrus by name) 
hf- gives leave to all the Jews, dwelling in all parts of his dominions, to return 
into Iheir own counti*y, antl commands them Immediately to fall in hand with 
leliuilding of the temple. 

He restoreth also all the vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar 
had brouglit from thence*, antl contributes toward the building. 

Tilt: Jews tliereforc return into their own country; the poorer sort haying 
allo\\'aiice made tbein to defray their charges upon the way. The number of 
the children of the province, or Hebrews born in Ciiaidea, which with their 
captain Zeruhbabel, and their high priest Jeshua, ruturn out of cajitivity, is 
42,3G0, besides proselytes, men-servants, and maid-servants, to the number of 
7,337. Now the particular sums of Ezra's catalogue being cast up amount only 
to 29,818; and those in Nehemiah's account make but 31,031, both which come 
far short of that universal sum of 42,3fi0, whichat thebolloni of each catalogue 
is said to be the number of the whole congregation. Wherehire the He- 
brews in Ihe xxixth ciiapicr of their great ehronioietell us, that to complete the 
full sum 12,360, we must cast in those of the other ten tribes of Israel, who came 
up out of the captivily wiili the Jews. For even tdl the last extirpation of the. lew- 
ish Slate iliere remained some relics of tlie other ten Irilies, not only in the dis- 
persion, and at Jerusalem, ami other cities o( Judah ; but alsooi tiiose who Kept 
still in their own seats; forShalmaneser swept not away all out of the whole ten 
tribes, but left a remnant of them in their own country, who Avere afterward, 
together with the Jews, Benjaiuites, and Levitcs, carried away by Nebucltad- 
iiezzar into Babylon, and are now dismissed and sent back again by (^yrus. 

In ihe second year alter their return from Baliylon, in llie sc cond" month, they 
appoint Levites to oversee the work of the house of tied, and lay the foundation 
of the temple ; the old men lamenting, who 53 ye.aj's before had seen the okl tem- 
ple standing, and the younger sort rejoicing to see the new one going up. 

The Samaritans by the means of certain courtiers about Cyrus, whom they 
had bribed for that purpose, disturb the Jews in tiieir work of the temple. 

In the beginning of the reign of Artaxerxes (called in proOme story Camby- 
.ses) the Samaritans, who, wliilsl Cyrus lived, had secretly undermined the Jews, 
now ojienly frame a direct accusation in writing against the inhaijitauts of Jn- 
dah and Jerusalem, and present it to the king, who presently forbids the Jews 
to proceed in Ihe building. 

Ill the second year of king Darius Hyslaspes (the same with Ah.astierus) Ze- 
rulibabel and Jesliua, incited by the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, set for- 
ward the building of the temple. 

Haggai piophesieth that the glory of this second temple shall be greater than 
that of the former; not as being a more magnificeiU structure, but in regard the 
blessed Messiah sliall one day honour it with his presence, and from thence 
propagate peace to all nations. 

About this time Zechariah tlie prophet exhoneih the Jews to repentance. 

Ahnsiierus puts away queen Vasliti his wife, and not long after espouselh Es- 
ther, the niece of Mordecai tlie Jcv/. 

In the sixth year of Darius, or Ahasiierus, the tenple is finished; the dedica- 
tion whereof is celebrated with great.joy and abundance of sacrifices, the Priests 
and Levites, every one in his place, attending on the ministry of the temple. 
The passover also is celebrated. 

Hanian an Aeagite, of the race of the Anialekltes, a great favourite of king 
Ahasiierus, ofTended at Mordecai. because he falls not dowi. and adores bin', as 
others do, resolves to be revenged of the whole nation ot'the Jews, (which was 
ever averse to his) ami to root it out ; for the executing of which purpose, that 
he may find a successful time, he causeth Pur, that is, the lot, to be cast before 
him, lor to know the ilay and month wherein the Jews shall be destroyed, and 
the lot falls on the I2tli month Adar. 

Hainan obtains an edict from the king, that all Jews, without respect to sex 
or age. upon ilie thirteenJh day of the month A.dar, be put t.i death in all the 
inovinces of the king's dominions. Hereupon Mordecai, Esther, and all the 
Jews, lumible themselves before the Lord by fasting and prayer. 

Ahasuerus Hearing it read in thechronicles, that a conspiracy had been discov- 
ered (o him by Mordecai, cominandeth that he be publicly honoured, and that 
by ilaman himself, his deadly enemy. 

Esther, enteilnining the king and Hainan at the baniiuet, inaketh suit for her 
own life, and her jieopie's, and accuseth Haman. The king, undersianding Ihat 
Haman had provided a gallows for Mordecai, causeth him lobe hanged thereon. 
In nieniory of this great deliverance the two days of Purim are made festival. 

Ezra the priest, .a man skilled rn the law of Moses, obtains a large commission 
from king Artaxerxes, to settle the Jewish commonweaiih, and to reform the 
church at Jerusalem. 

In the seventh year of Artaxerxes, Ezra, with a great multitude of Jews, sets 
out from Babylon. 

Ezra obiigeih those who had taken strangers to wife to send them back. 

In the twentieth year of king Artaxerxes, Nehemiah a Jew, one of his cup- 
bearers, being made governor of Judea, obtains leave to build the walls of Je- 
rusalem, andfinisli th.it great work. Here begin Daniel's 70 weeks to be ful- 
filled before the passion of our Saviour y

Ne^iemiah having governed J'udea 12 years, returns to the king o( Persia. 

This year is the 21st Jubilee, the last that ever the prophets of the i tld Testa- 
ment saw : for that place in Nehemiah, chap. xii. 22, is not to be understood ol 
the last Darius, hut of Darius Nothus, who now reigns in Persia; the lull histo 
ly of Nehemiah ending with the time of Artaxerxes Longimanus father of iliis 
Darius Nothus. 

Hitherto fsaith Eusebius in his Chronicle, to the 32d year of Artaxe* xes) tlie 
Divine Scriptures of the Hebrews contain the annals of the times. B jt those 
things which were done among them after\vard we must deliver ov4t of the 
books of the Maccabees, and out of the writings ot Josephus, who have delir 
ered a general history of the Jewish affairs from thence down to the times of 
the Romans. 

Tiiat Malachi, the last of the prophets, was cpnter.iporai-y with Nehemiah, 
appears from hence, that he nowhere exhorts the people to the building of the 
tenip!e,as Haggai and Zacliary did ; but, the temple being now built, he reproves 
tliose disorders, whicli NehCTiinh at his second return with a new commission 
from Babylon saith he found in his absence to have crept in among the Jevvit-, 
as man lage with str.ange women, withholding of tithes, and abuses in the wcr- 
sliip of Cjod. And because a succession of prophets was not to be expected, an 
before, he exhortetli the people constantly to adhere xo the law d Miwcs till 
Christ the chief Prophet should appear; whose forerunner John th«> Baptist 
should come in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn Ihe hearts of the fathers 
unto their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just. Sec 1 Mac 
iv. 46, and ix. 17. 

ALEXANDER the Great, king of Macedonia, passeth out of Europe into 
Asia, and begins to lay waste the Persian Empire. Manasses, brother to 
Jaddus the high priest, refusing to put away his strange wife, is driven from 
the sacrifice: Sanaballaih his father-in-law, governor of Samaria, revnlteth 
fiom D.'.riu^, olitains leave of Alexander to build a temple on mount Gerizim, 
and makes Manasses high priest thereof; to which resort all such as are entan- 
gled in unlawful marriage, with all such offenders as think themselves not safe 
at Jerusalem. This was the rise of that schisinatical conventicle of the Sama- 
ritans. See John iv. 20. 

Alexander niarcheth toward .lerusalem, intending to besiege it. .Taddus the 
high priest, hearing of it, putteth on his priesti}' ornamems, and accompanied 
with the people all in while, goeth out to meet him. Alexantler, seeing his 
habit, falls prostrate before him, saying that, whilst he was in Macedonia, a 
man ajipeared unto him -n the very same habit, who invited him to come into 
Asia, and promised to deliver the Persian Empire into his hands. After this 
he goes to the temple, and offers sacrifice according to the high priest's direc- 
tion. They shew him the propliecy of Daniel, That a Grecian should come 
and deslroy the Persians; wliereby he is mightily confirmed in his persuasion 
that he himself is the man. Lastly, he bestoweth on the Je^'s whatever favours 
they desire, and departeth. 

The Persians are overcome, Darius slain, and Alexander remains universal 
monarch of the eastern world. 

Alexander, having reigned six years and ten months dieth; his army and do- 
minions are divided among his captains. Antigonus makes himself governor of 
Asia ; Seleucus of Babylon and the bordering nations ; Lysimachus hath the Hel- 
lespont; Cassander, r\Iace<lon; and Ptolemeus, tlie son ofLagus, gets Egypt. 

Ptoienieus, surnamed Soter, makes himself master of Jeiaisalem by a strata- 
gem ; for he enters the city on a sabbath-day under pretence of offering sacri- 
fice; and whilst the Jews suspect nothing, but spend the day in ease and ialc- 
ness, he surpriseth the city without resistance, and maketli the citizens ca))tives. 
He sendeth several colonies of Jews into Egypt, and puts great confidence ia 
them. 

Ptolemeus Philadelphus, son of Ptolemeus Soter, being a great favourer of 
learning, builds a nv.ist magnificent library at Alexandria. Demetrius Phale- 
rins, to w horn he had committed the care of procuring all sorts of books, and 
out of all countries, persuades him to employ 72 Jews in translating the Holy 
Scriptures out of the original Hebrew into the Greek tongue, whicli was done 
in the seventh year of his reign. The king also aismisseth many captive Jenrii 
I and deilicaies many presents to the temple of God at Jerusalem. 
I One Simon, a man of the tr;be of Benjamin, governor of the temple, falling 
out with Onias, the l-.igl: priest, goes to Apollonius the governor of Celosyria, and 
miiu-ms him that there is a vast treasure in the temple : Apollonius acquaints 
king Seleucus his master with it, who presently sends his treasurer Heliodoriw 
to .lerusalem, to bring this money away. Heliodorus entering the temple, is by 
angels struck down in (he very place, and carried from thence half dead ; but 
by the prayers of Onias he is soon after restored to his health. Returning to 
Seleucus that sent him, he magnifies the holiness of the temple, and the power 
ofCod dwelling in it. 

Antiochus Epiphaues succeeds Seleucus in the Itingdora of Syria, and reigT> 
eth 1 1 years, and some months. 

Jason, by corrupting king Antiochus, obtaineth the office ofhigh priest. 

Menelaus, brother to Simon the traitor, being emjiloyed by Jason to carry the 
money to the king, promiseth 300 talents of silver above what Jason had sent 
and getleth the priesthood to hiniself. 

JMrnelaus, not p.aying the money he had promised the king at his admission, 
is summoned to appear before Antiochus ; he substltuteth Lysimachus his brother 
in his place. 

Antiochus taketli Jerusalem, and sacking it, pillagelh the temple, destroyeth 
40,000 of the inhabitants, and selleth as many more. He endeavoureth alsti to 
abolish the worshi}) ol' God, and forceth many Jews to forsake their religion. 
Tlic Snniarilaiis now disov/n their relation to the Jews, to whom in prosperity 
they prelenrU'd alliance, and consecrate the temple on mount Gerizim to Jupiter. 

Pei sens, having made war upon the Romans, is this year overcome by tliem, 
and the kingdom of the Macedonians ends, when from Caranus it had stooti 
626 years. Nevertheless the relics of the Macedonian empire, while that of the 
Roman was rising, did yet survive in the Ptolemies of Egypt, and the kings of 
Syria. 

King Antiochus, by a public edict, commands all nationsthat are sulyect unto 
him to oljservethc same way of divine worship, and laying aside their peculiar 
customs, to profess the same religion with the Grecians; the punishment ol 
death being thriaieiied unio such as shall lie disobedient ; and he appoints over- 
.seeis over every people and nation who sh.all compel them hereunto. Of the 
Jews, many choose rather to undergo Ihe most crue. torments, than to offer sacri- 
fice luito i.iols; all which martyrdoms, with those glorious sufferings of the sev- 
en Maccabean brethren, are recorded in the two Books of Maccabees. 

]\lauatlii:is, a priest, with his five sons, slay those that are sent by king Antio- 
chus to compel ttiem to offer abominable sacrifices, and after betake themselves 
to tlie descrl. They are followed by many others, efwhom a great number are 
stilled in their caves, because they ^ould not defend themselves on the sab- 
bi'lli-d'iy. Mallalhiasaliolisheth that superstition, and exhorts his sons to assert 
thfic pr'vileges, and deliver their country from bondage. 

MaliBthias dips, and Judas Maccabc. is takes upon him the management of 
this affair. He delivcis his country, and purgeth it from the abominations 
wliirh had been commilted in it. 

A]»poU. nius, governor of Samaria, having raised an army among the Gentiles 
and .Samaritans, falls ujion tiie Jews; but is discomfited and slain by Judus 
Blarcabcus. 

Seroii also, governor of the lower .Syria, musters up all the forces under his 
command, and invades Judea; liini Judas Maccabeus encounters, slays 800 of 
his men on the place, and puts the rest to flight. 

Jutlas IMaccalieus defeats a great army, which Antiochus sent against the 
Jews. Lysias returns with a greater power; Judas kills SfJOO of his men, and 
causeth him to retreat. He purifieth the temple, and settelh it in order, after it 
had lain desolate three years ; and buildeth a wall about Sion. 

Antiochus is taken with a violent pain in his bowels, and such a rottenness 
seizeth his flesh, thai worms breed in it ; he confesseth that he is plagued tor 
the wrong done to Jerusalem, and dieth in the H9tli vear of the kingdom of UiB

Gtreciana. His son Aniiochus Eupator, a child about nine years old, succeeds 
1 jm. He maketh peace with the Jews, but ciuickly breaUeth it : he j)uts lo 
drath Menelaus ihe high .vriest, and confers that hjnour upon Alciinus, or 
Jacimus. 

OvMs, the son of Onias HI. retires into Kgypt, where Ptolemeas Plulometor, 
and Cleopatra his wife, permit him to build a tenijjle at Heliopolis in imita- 
lion o! that at Jerusalem, and they constitute him high priest there. 

Demetrius Soter, the son of Seleucus, escajies from Home, ajid come? into 
Syi-ia, where he oauseth himself to be crowned king, and putteth to death An- 
tiochus aad Lysias. 

Demetrius, at the instance of Alcnnus, sends Nicanor witl a ^-eat army 
ag-.ainst Judas Maccabeus, whom he endeavours to surprise. They join liattle, 
and Nicanor is slain. 

Here ends the continued history of the seccnd book of Maccabees, beinj an 
abstract and oreviaiy of llie live hooks of Jason, a Jew of Cyrene. 

King' Demetrius semis Bacchiiles with a new army, consisting of 20,000 men, 
against Judas Maccabeus; Judas, having- witli him but WW men, ventures to 
engage liim, and is slain. His l)r()ther .hinatnaji is chosen general in his stead. 

Jonathan enters into an alliance witli the Komans. Josephun ol)serves, that 
this was the first league tliat ever was known to be between the Romans and 
the Jews. 

WIdlst Alcimus conim.mds the wall of the inner court of tlie temple to be 
pnlleil down, God striiie^ iiini suddenly with a palsy, so that without speaking 
a word he dies in great torment. 

Jonathan, having wearied Bacchides by war, compelleth him to make a 
league, and draw oil" his army. 

Alexander Balas, the son of king Aniiochus Epiphanes, enters with an armv 
into Syria; the "farrison of Plolemais set open tiieir gates to him, by reason of 
tlieir hatred to king Demetrius, who prepares himself tor war. 

Demetrius desiretii an alliance withJoiiatliaw, who makes use of this occasion 
to repair thefoitil'ications of Jerusalem. 

Alexander lialas is no less c;iref>d to obtain the friendship of Jonatlian, and, 
to oblige him, confers on him the high priesthood. 

Jonathan puts on tlie holy vestmem on die seventh month of the t60ih year 
of the kingdom of the Greri-vns, at the feast of tabernacles. He was the first 
high priest of the llasnuniean family. 

Demetrius and Alexander come to a battle, and Demetrius is slain. 

Alexander Dalas, fouling Itimseirin the peaceaitte jiossession of the kingilom 
ot Syria, espouseth Cleifpaira. Ilis dat ghter of fiolemeus rhiloinelor !-in_' ot 
Egypt. Alexander highly !ionf»urs Jon^oliati the high priest at his nuptials. 

Demetrius Nicanor, elt'.eslso. of Jieioetrius Soler, enters into Ci Una w ith an 
army. Kin^ .Alexander Balas g -ves the conmtaiid of Syria to ApoUontus, who 
sets upon Jonathan the high pries-'; .lonalhiui defeats him, and takes Joppe and 
Azotus, aiul burns the temple of iJfi'i'.n. 

Plolenieus Phihioieior, king of i-,rypi, conies to the relief of king Alexander 
his son-in-law; Alex.inder ujigratc-lhtiy :.eis Annnonius to lie in ambush to iviil 
him. The treachery being tiisroveiid, Ptolemeus takes away bis daiujhti r 
tVom Alexander, and ni-iri ieth. her to DeoLeli'ius. Alexander having been th'i^ ^n 
from Antioch, the inhaltitants of that place make offer of the kingdom to Ptole- 
meus ; hut he refuseUi it, and pcrsuadeth them to accept of Demetrius for their 
king. 

Alexander returns with a great army. Ptolemetts and Demetrir.s unite their 
forces, and overcome him in a jiitched battle ; but. Ptolemeus dies of the wouni'.s 
which he received, after lie had s..en tiie head of Alexander sent to liiin by 
Zabdiel an Arabian prince. Jonathan besiegelh the citadel at Jerusalem, held 
by a garrison of Macedoniuns. Complaint hereof being maile to Demetrius, 
Jonathan appeaseth him by i>resent-s, and obt<iineth new favours for the Jews. 
Demetrius incurreth the hatred of his soldiers by abridging their pay in time 
of peace. 

Trjphon, with some soldiers that revolted from Demetrius, undertakes to 
establish Antiochus, theson of Alexander Balas, in the kiitgdom of Syria. 

Demetrius is vanLpiished by young Antiochus, and made to fly into Seleucia. 
Great honours are by Antioch us conferred on Jonathan, who assists him against 
Demetrius. 

J onathan renews his alliance with tlje Romans and Lacedemonians, and for- 
tifies Jerusalem. 

Try])hon cimtrives how he may quit himself of Antiochus, and reign in his 
stead": but fearing Jonathan's opposition, he invites hirn to come to Ptclemais, 
and bring with him some few of his soldiers, promising to deliver that city into 
his hands. Jonathan, suspecting no treachery, conies only with IQOO men to 
Tryphon at Plolemais ; but as soon as he is entered the city Try])hon com- 
mands the gates to be shut. Jonathan is taken prisoner, and all his men jiut to 
the sword. 

The Jews hereupon make choice of Simon Maccabetis for their general in 
the place of his brother Jonathan. Tryphon leads an army against Simon. He 
promtseth for 100 talents of silver to release Jonathan ; the money being paid 
him, he breaks his promise, and puts Jonathan to death. Simon erects a state- 
ly monument for his father and his brethren. 
Tiyphon murders the young king Antiochus, and puts the crown on hisown head. 

The Romans and Lacedemonians renew their leagues v.ith Simon, and write 
them in tables of brass. 

Sinitin has the govei-nment and high priesthood settled on him and his heirs : 
the Jews are by his means discaargetl frmn ail manner of tribute to any foreign 
prince. He t.akes Sion, the fortress of Jerusalem, drivesoutof the city all idola- 
ters, clears the houses of their idols, and placelli in the city such as are true 
worshippers of God. 

Tryphon's vices render him so odious to his soldiers, that they submit them- 
selves to Cleop«tra, Demetrius's relict- She marrieth Antiochus .Soter, Denie- 
trius's brother, and causeth him to be crownetl kiuf^ Antiochus drives Tryphon 
out of Syria, besiegeth him in Dorit, whence he (lies to Apamea, where lie is ta- 
ken aijd slain. 

Simon the high priest traversing the cities of Jtidea, and taking care for their 
orderly government, comes down with Jiis two sc>ns, Matlathias and Jtidas, to 
Jericho; Ptolemeus, the son of Alndius, Simon's son-iu-law, invites them to a 
castle which he had fortified, calletl Dochus, and there, wliilst he entertains 
them at a bancptet, barbaiously murders them. John Hircanus succeeds his fa- 
ther in the high priesthood. 

Here ends thejirst hook of Mdcciihccs., containing the history of forty years. 

John Hircanus takes Shechem, and deinolisheth the temple on mount Gerizini 
200 years after it had been built by Sanaliallat. 

Judas, eldest son of Hircanus, otherwise calletl Aristobtilu*?, and surnamed 
Philelien, succeeds his father ?n the government and the high jjiiesthootl : Ite 
was the first of any, that after the return front the catUivity of Babylon, set a 
crown upon his head, and chattged the slate into a monarchy. 

Anna the proplietess, daughter of Piianuel, of the tribe of Asher, this year 
becoming a widow, departs not from the temjile, but serveth God with fasting 
aitd prayer night and dtiy, for 84 years togethei, until such time as she sees 
Christ in the teinple 

Jerusalem is this year taken by Ponipey ; who meiliHes not with any of the 
treasure which was in the temple, but makes the Jews tributary to the Romans. 

Here begins the empire of the Roman Cesars^ when Jiditi£ Cesar, having over- 
throwi}. Pompey nt the battle of Pharsfdin, teas made perpetual didator. 

Herod, the son of Antipas, or Antipttter, an Idumean, is this year by the Ro- 
mans dechared king of Judea. 

Herod, assisted by Sosius the Roman general, lays siege to Jerusalem, and 
takes it ; the soldiers fill all corners of the city with blood, rapine, and cruelty. 
Antigonus, the prince and high priest, is by Sosius carried away prisoner to 
Rome, and Hero-.l put in full possession of the kingdom. 

About this time llillel, a Babylonian., descended from David, flourished at Je- 
rusalem ; one of whose 'Usciples was Jonathan, theson of Ozziel, the famous 
author of the Oliaidee paraphi-ase.

In tlift 5eif-same night Chrint U betrayed by Judns, m^ckra, buffeted ano 
spil upon, by llie soldiers. 

Neyt d-iy be is condemned by Pilate, and crucified ; the sun during: the cruel 
fixion is darkened, and the vail of the temple rent in the midrl. Chnii pray 
in^ ioY his enemies g:ives up the ghost. Joseph of Arimathea oegs uie body, 
anil lays il in a newsepalchie. 

On the Ihinl day, lUe next after the Jewish sabbath, (April 5.) Clirist risetli 
froti) tlie dead ; Ids resurrection is declared by ang"els to the women that came 
t" the sepulchre. Christ first appeareth to Mary Magdalene, and afterward to 
his <iisciples, and rlineth with them. 

Christ bringeth liis apostles to mount Olivet; commandelh them to expect in 
Jerusalem the sending down of the Holy Ghost: sends thorn to teach and ba])- 
ti/.e all nations, and blesses them , and while tliey behold, he is taken up, <ind a 
cloud receives liini out of their sight. After his ascension the disciples are warn- 
ed by two angeis to depart, and (o set tlieir minds upon his second coming; they 
accordingly return, and, giving tlieinselves to prayer, choose Matthias to be an 
apostle in the place of Judas. 

Oil the day of rciitetost (May 24.) the Holy Ghost descendefh on I he apostles 
in the form of cloven tongues, like as of fire, and enableth them to speak ail 
languages. Peter tliesamc day prencheth Clirist and tberesurrection, and about 
3000 believers are added to the church. 

Peler by faith in Clirist's name healeth a lame man. 

Tiie rulers of the Jews, offended at Peter's sermon, and his mirncidous cure 
of the lame man, cast both liini ami John into prison ; upon their examination 
the} boldly avouch the lame man to lie healed by tlie name of Jesus, and iliat hv 
the same Jesus we must be eternally saved. After this the Jews forlild them 
to speak any more in that name ; but the apcstles answer, Thai it is fit tliey 
sliould obey Gotl rather than men. They are threaleneil, and let go. 

Ananias and his wife Sapphira for tlieir hypocrisy are suddenly struck dead. 

The apostles are again cast into prison by the high priest; hut an angel sets 
them at iihei'ty, and bids them )>reacli the gospel to the people without fear: be- 
ing taken again leaching in the temple, they are brougiit before the council ; 
where by the advice of Gamaliel, a I?harisee, and doctor of the law, they are 
delivered. 

The number of helievei-s Increasing at Jerusalem, the apostles ordain seven 
deacons, who should distribute the aims of the whole church totlie widows am! 
poorer son. of believers. Stephen, one of tiiese tleacons, having confounded 
some that disputed with liim, is by tbem bilsely accused of blasphemy, and 
brought before the council, where he reprehends ;heir rebellion, ami murdering 
of Christ. Whereupon they cast him out of the city, and stone him; he in the 
meantime praying for them. 

A great persecution of the Cliiuch at Jerusalem follows after the death of the 
first Martyr Stejihen. 

Philip, one of tlieseven deacons, preaclieth at Samaria, and convertetli many; 
worketli miracles, and healeth the sick. Simon the sorcerer, seeing the won- 
ders that are done by Philip, believeth, and is baptized. 

The apostles at Jerusalem, brajing that Samaria had received the faith, send 
thither Peter and John to confii-m and enlarge the Cliurch. The apostles by 

Jirayer and imposition of hands confer tlie Holy Ghosi on all believers. Simon 
lla^us otTers them money, that he may receive the power of conferring the 
same, whose impiety is sharply reproved by Peter. Having completed tlieir 
ministry in those parts, tiiey return to Jerusalem. 

An angel sendeth Philip to teach and baptize the Ethiopian eunuch. 

Saul, a viobnt persecutor of all that call on the name of Jesus, and one who 
consented to thedeathof Stephen, goes nowtowards Damascus with commission 
from ihe iiigh pnest and the council to apprehend all Christians in those parts, 
and to bring them bound to Jerusalem ; on the way he is miraculously convert- 
ed by a voice from heaven ; and three days after baptized by Ananias at Da- 
mascus, where he preacheth the gospel i>i Christ with gi-eat bolihiess, to the as- 
tonishment of those that knew upon what design he was sentthilher. 

Saul having preached the gospel at Damascus a long time, the Jews lay wait 
toUiU him, but he escapeth from thence, and comes to Jerusalem ; tliere he >ees 
Peter, and James the brolher of oui- Lord, a«d abides with them fifteen days. 
Here bespeaks boldiy in the name of Jesus, and disputes v/ith the Grecians, or 
rather Jews that used the Greek tongue. These also consult how they may hill 
him. 

While Saul prays in the temple, he is in a trance, and the Lord appears unto 
him, and bids him to depart from Jerusalem, because they will not receive his 
testimony; adding, that he will send him to the Gentiles. 

S.iul leaving Jerusalem goes to his own country Tarsus, and from thence trav- 
els into Syria and Cilicia. 

Peter visits tne churches of Judca, Galilee, Samaria, Sic. At Lydda he curetli 
Eneas of the palsy : and at Joppa restoretb Tabitha to life. 

At Gesarea, Cornelius, a centurion, by pr.Tiycrs and alms finds favour in the 
sight of God, and is ccpimanded by an angel to send for Peter now at Joppa. God 
by a vision teacheth Peter not to Ilespise ihe Gentiles. Peter, being sunt for by 
Cornelius, gees and preachc th Christ to him and a great company that were 
met at his house: while Peter preacheth, the Holy Gliost falls upon them all; 
and immediately the apostle liaptizeth them. 

Peter, at his relurn to Jerusalem, is accused by those of the circumcision for 
conversing with the Ij entiles ; but he declares to tliem his vision, and the whole 
matter concerning Cornelius ; and they glorify God for granting to the Genliles 
also repentance unto life. 

T'he believers, who ever since the martyrdom of Stephen, and the persecution 
thereupon ensuing, had been dispersevl throughout all Phenice aJid Cyprus, coi-ie 
now to Antioch, and preach the gospel to the Greeks there, having before 
preached to none but the Jews. Tlie Church at Jerusalem understanding this, 
ami that the number of believers increased exceeiUngly, sends liarnaba.s iTiilher 
to confirn) them ; he goes to Tarsus, and takes Saul alongwitli him to Antjocii, 
where tney continue a whole year, conveiting multitudes to the faith. Here the 
disciples were first cillcd Christians. 

About this time James the brother of John is beheaded by the command of 
Herod Agrippa. He also iniprisonetli Peter, whom an angel delivers upon the 
prayers of tlie chuicli. This same Herod, not long after, speaking to the people 
at Cesarea. some of thorn cry out, It is the voice of God, and not of man ; anil 
immetliately an angel of the Lord sniites him, because he gave not the gloi'y to 
Go<l i and he is eaten of worms, and dieth. 

liariiahas and Saul set forward in their preaching of the gospel. They plant 
the Christian faith in Seleucia, Cyprus, and other places. At Papiios ihey 
preach (lie gospel to Sergius Pauius, governor of that counti'y: KlyuKis. a sorce- 
'fr, wiihsirtniUng them, and endeavoiriiig to turn away Sergius Iroin the faith, 
is at Sauls rebuke struck lilind. From this time Saul is always cJilleil bv Ids 
new name Paul ; he preacheth at Ani-ioch ; the Gentiles believe, but the jews 
gainsay and blaspheme. Whereupon he and his assistants ttu'n to the Gentiles, 
and conie to Icoriium. 

At Iconium they are persecuted and ready to be stoned. From hence they fly 
to l.vsira and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia. At Lystra, Paui healing a cripple, the 
inultiluiic cry out, that the gods are come down, and call B-iinalias. Jupiter- 
and Paul, Mercurius; fmd would have sacrificed to them, had not the apostles 
with clothes rent rtui in among tiiepi, and assmed them thm they were men.

The seventh Ag ' 

like hemselvcs. Soon after there come Jews from Antioch and Iconium, wvn, 
exciie the people .igainst them. Paul is by the furious multitude stoned, and 
drawn out of the city as dead ; but whilst the disciples ."tand about him, herisetb 
up. and the next day deiiarls with Barnabas to De.-be. 

In this year, perhaps at this very time, Paul was caught up into the third 
heavfii, and heard unspeakable words, founeen years before he wrote his sec 
Olid epi'itle to the Corinlhiacs. 

About this time Timotl.y, though a child, with his mother Eunice, and hi« 
gi-andinother Lois, embrace the Christian faith preached by Paul. 

Certain Jndaizing Christians come from Judea to Antioch, and teach thatthe 
Gentiles ought to be circumciseil, and observe the law of Moses; these Paul 
and Harn.ihas oppose, and a council is held by the apostles and others at Jeru- 
salem to determine this controversy. The decrees of the synod are sent to the 
churches. 

Paul and Barnabas, thinking to visit the churches together, fall at strife, and 
part. asunder: Barnabas and Mark ^o into Cyprus; Paul and Silas into Syria 
piid Cilicia. 

Paul coming to Derbe finds there Timothy, whom (because his mother was a 
believing Jew, though his father a Gentile) he causeth to Le circumcised, and 
takes him along with him. He is by a vision admonished to go into Macedo- 
nia ; coming toPbilirpi, the chief city of that part of Macedonia, he converts 
Lydia : casteth out of a certain maid-servant a spirit of divination, wliose master 
losing a considerable gain thereby, brings Paul and Silas before the magis- 
trates : these cause iheni to he whipped and imprisoned ; but at midnight, Paul 
and Silas praying and singing psalms, the doors of the jirison fly open, and their 
Ijonds are loosed : the j.iiler, ready to kill himself, is converted to the faith, and 
baptized the same night wilji his w hole family. Next day the magistrates come 
theinseives, and pray them to depart the city. 

I'^roni Philippi Paul Uikes his Journey through Amphipolis and Apollonia, 
and comes to Thessalonica, where he finds a synagogue of the Jews; there he 
pieadieth three sabbath-days, some believe, others persecute him. Leaving 
Thessalonica he comes to Berea, and soon after arrives at Athens, uispuics witn 
the philosophers, and declares unto Iheni that UJi KNOWN GOD, whom they 
had ignorantly worshipped. He converts Dionysiustbe Arecpagite, and thence 
passeth to Corinlli. 

Paul at Corinth meets with Aquila arn\ Priscida, not long betore banishei) 
liuinc by the decree of Claudius. Here he continues a year and six months, 
and thence writes to the Thessalonians. 

Paul is accused by the Jews, and brought before Gallio, proconsul of Achaia, 
who refnseth to judge in a controversy about religion, and so drives them 
away from the judgment-seat. 

Paul departs from Corinth, and passeth to Ephesus, thence he sets out towards 
Jprnsal<;in, that he ni.ay be at the feast; he lands at Cesarea, goes down to 
Antioch, and comes into the regions of Galatia and Phrygia, confirming the dis- 
ciples in all tho.se })laces. 

Paul returns to Epl.esus, dis)iutes daily in the school of Tyranniis, and coi>- 
thiues preaching there, and the parts thereabout. 

He writes his epistle to the Gaialians. 

At Ephesus, Demetrius a silversmith, jealous of his gain, raiseth a tumult 
against I'aul, w hich is appeased by the town-clerk. 

About this time a schism arisetli in the church at Corinth, which causeth Paul 
(now in or about Ephesus) to write his first epistle to the Corinthians. 

Paul departs fioni Ephesus, and comes into Macedonia, and gathers a contri- 
bution for the relief of the saints at Jerusalem. 

Tiie apostle, having learnt from Tit us the success of his first, writes now his 
second ejiistle to the Corinthians. Out of Macedonia be goes into Greece, and 
comes to Corinth, where hexvi'ites hisepislleto the Romans. 

Paul purposing to go directly from thence into Syria, tliat he may carry tho 
collections to Jerusalem, the Jews lay wait for him; he understanding this, 
thinks it best to return into Macedonia the same way he came, and thence to 
pass into Asia. 

Aflftr the days of unleavened bread Paul sails from Philippi, and comes to 
Troas ; there lie restores Eutychus to life. Having passed through several cit- 
ies of Greece, he arrives at Miletus; from thence he sends to call the elders of 
the Church of Ephesus, whom he earnestly exhorts to the performance of their 
duty. 

P.iul comes to Jerusalem, is apprehended in the temple, and secured in the 
castle ; he claimeth the privilege of a Roman, and escapeth scourging. 

Paul pleadelh his cause before Ananias the high priest. Tiie chief captain, 
understanding that above forty Jews liad hound themselves undera curse neither 
to eat nor drink till they had killed him, sends him to Felix the governor of the 
province, by whom he is imprisoned at Cesarea. 

Paul is accused before Felix by Tcrtulhis the orator: Felix goes out of bis of- 
fice, and, to gratify the Jews, leaves Paul in prison. Porcius Festus succeeds 
him in the government. 

The Jews comeui Cesarea, and accuse Paul before Festus. Heanswereth for 
himself, ami appeals unto Cesar. King Agrippa comes to Cesarea, and Festus 
opens the whole matter to him. 

Paul makes his defence in the presence of Agrippa ; who thereby is almost 
persuiuled to he a Christian, and the whole compen.v pronounce him innoceitu 

Paul comes to Rome, is a prisoner at large, and preacheth there two years.

About llie latter end of this year St. Paul is set at liberty; and a little before 
his departure out of Italy into Asia he writes his epistle to the Hebrews. 

He preachelh the go.spel in the isle of Crete, and leaves Titus there to set 
things in order and onlain elders in evciy city.

TABLES OF SCRIPTURE MEASURES, WEIGHTS, AND COINS : 

WITH AN APPENDIX. 

CONTAINING THE METHOD OF CALCULATING ITS MEASURES OF SURFACE, HITHERTO WANTING IN TREATISES ON TIHS SUBJECT 

Bi/ the Right Reverend Richard Lord Bishop of Peterborough. 



A MEASURE is a known quantity applied to another of tlie same kind iliat is less known, to 
make its dimensions better known, by lielp of numbers expressing the proportion tiiat the 
known quantity bears to the unknown. The dimensions to be measured are three: 1. Mtrt Itngih^ 
wbicit iKitli but one dimension. 2. Surface^ wliich consists of lenglh multiplied into breadtii ; so it 
bath two dimensions, as it were interwoven} and this is always measured by some square surface 
already known, ;is by a square foot, or a square cubit, or any other square already known, by help 
of its side. Moses generally c.seth the square cubit. 3. Suti'dity or Cnpiicity, which hath Ihr^e di- 
mensions n'ultiplied into each other : length, breadth, and heiglH, or dtplh. This is measured by 
a known cube. From solidity ariseth weight in all sublunary bodies; and by weight we measure 
Ihc value of coins. Therefore I shall join weights and coinK togethei in the fourth table.

II. TABLE. Measures of Hwifaxx, 
Moses hath described these by square Cubits. I here express them reduced to our square Feet. 
The method of this reduction is taught in an Appendix. I fust propose three clear examples given by 
Moses; Secondly, X place six instances of greater difficulty. 

The clearest examples are, 

I. The Altar of Incense. Only two sides of i^ vi7. its lengtli and breadth, are expressed by Moses ; 
each of them is aifn-med to be one Culiit. Yet he declares it was four square : whence we collect, 
tliat it was just one square Cubit. See Exod. xxx. 2. Xnw it is demonstrated in the Appendix, that 
one Jetoish sc|,iare Cubit amounts to in surface three English square Feet-, and about 47 square Inches. 

II. The Table of Shew-biead, Exod. xxv. 23. It is alhrnied to be two'Cubits in lei.'-;th, and on< in 
breadth. None .loubt but it v/as rectangular, containing two Je-j)ish S(|uare Cubits. These aino mt 
to above six EngLuh si|uare Feet, ajid above lialf, viz. 94 square Inches. 

III. The Boards of the Tabeinacle, each 10 Uubits in length, and one and a half in breadth, E:od. 
xxvi. 16. being rectangular, must contain IS square Cubits, ./euiiiA. These arc proved to contain 'ery 
near oO square Fe^t of English Measure. 

The more difficult cases reserved to the Appendix are, 

I. The Mercy-seat, whose surface is = 12 squaie Feet and a half. 

II. A general method is taught of reducing any given number ut Jcuiih Cubits to English square 
Foet 

HI. The example of ihe 15 square Cubits in the Boards of the Tabernacle is made clearer. 

IV. The Court of the Tabernacle, described Exod. xxvii. IS. is found to be just half the Egyptian 
Arourn, and to contain 1 Rood, 21 Perches, 27 square Feel, kc. 

V. The whole Aroura is determined, and re<luct'd to our English Measures, 3 Roods, 2 Perches, 55 
square Feel. 

VI. The suburbs, or Glebe Land, given to each city of the Levites, Numb. xxxv. 3, 4, 5. is shewed 
to be a square, on each of the four sides of every city, containing a million of ./riouA square Cubits, 
or 100 Aroura ; which amount to in each Square 76 Acres, 1 Koud, 20 Perches, 80 S(iuare Feet. Whence 
we collect, that all the four Squares amounted to 305 Acres, 2Roods, 1 Perch, besides 51 Fcetsquare

An APPENDIX to the Second Table o^Measures of Surface desci-ibed by Moses, shelving the Method 
of reduciiifr [htm by CciL-ulation to the Measures used in England, ybr the benefit of those that under- 
stand De*-iiiial Arilbmelic, and desire to tr<f llie ReduUio-ns given in the Tuhte, or to make further 
Improve ntenti in this kind of Measures. 

1. The X SH.\LL L^gin with Reduction of tlie Measures of the Jl/Ej-q/-.Sfa(, which was God's Throne 
Mertij JL ol Grace among the Jews. Moses in Kxod. xxv. 17 aftirnis, that its length was two Cubits 
Seat, and a half its bre.adth one Cubit and a half. The fractions adheringto its length and breadlh 
niake some diliiculty to beginners in Arithmetic, which the Decimal wf.y doth much abate. .Suppo- 
singiherefore, what I have elsewhere proveil, that the Jeti^^ish cubit was in Foot nieasvire 1.824 j tlie 
length must be expressed in Foot measur?, and Detin:als thereof, 4.560. The breaiiih in like meas- 
ure will be 2.736. Wherefore the product of these luunbers multiplied into each other gives its sur- 
face I2.47,61f) : in number of its square Feet, and Decimals thereof, 12 R(tuare P>ei, and very near 
half a square Fo<»t ; if the Decimals had been .50, i; had I)Hen just half a Foot. If we ilesire to-ex- 
press those Decimals of a Foot in square Inches, as is usual in England, we niusi multiply .47,618 by 
14-1, the square Inches of a Foot, and the product will be 68.5t-,704 ; which shews that the Decimals 
we found amount to 68 square Inches, and about half an Inch more : we need not be nicer. 



2. A square Cuhit re- 
duced to our Measure, 



2. In the Altarof Incense Moses describes the Jewish square Cubit, which 



must he reduced to our Foot measure, thus, J ! " J; J. The product of these 
numbers multiplied will be the upper surface of this Altar, 3.326,976. that is, 
three square Feet, and .326,976 Decimals of a square Foot, which we may express by 47 square In- 
ches, anil a few Decimals of an Inch square inconsiderable. 

onh'e TtdKniacle ^' -"^"^fs's description of the boards of the Tabernacle, Exod. xxvi. 16. by 10 Cu- 

-' " ■ bius in length, and one and a half in breadth, naturally lea<ls a man to discern in 

each boanPssurface 15 Jewish square Cubits ; because if we cmutive a line drawn from the end of one 
Cubit at the Ixjitom of the Board to the end of one Cul.il at the lop of the Board, this must needs be 
10 whole square Cubils on one side of that line, and 10 half square Cubits (=5 whole) on the other 
side of that line: here therefore are IS square Cubits. Tl.e reduction of Ihcse iiiio Angllth square 
Feet is performed by multiplying IS, rii. the numner of Cubits given into 3.326,976 Ihe Feet and 
Decimals of one square Cubit, and the product will h« 49.90,464, and that is very near vo fifty square 
Feet; lor those Decimals annmnt to above 130 square Inches; and little more than 13 square Inches 
would make it just 50 Feet, which abatement we need not here regard. 

4. The Court of "*■ ^^' us now go to the measure of the surface of land. But we will begin with 
the'Talicmnrlf *'"^ Court of the Tabernacle, the ground on v.hich Ihe Priests pert'ornied all the 

snlemi public worship of lsruel\n Moseses time. The Area '.f this Court Is de- 
scribed by Moses, Exod. xxv. 18 by its length 100 Cubits, and its breadth ev-ry where SO Cubits. 
Wherefore this Area must be in Jewish measure .5000 sn,.iare Cubits, for that is 'the product of 100 
multiplied into 50. To reduce these .5000 Jewish Cubits inioEngtish square Feel, I must multiply 
S0O3 into 3.326,076, the product is 16,634.88 i,iij/isA square Feet. 

But in cases of such long nundicrs of Feet we use for brevity's sake, and to help our memories, to 
reduce them into Perches, or Hoods, or Acres, which contain known numbers of square Feet. A 
Perch contains 272 sipiare Feet and 1-4. A Rood is = to 10,890 square Feet. An Acre is = to 43,560 
square Feet. It is plain that the number 10,634.88 hath not integers crpial to those of an Acre ; bitl 
it hath enough to ans-\ver those in a Rood, a.id some ovei plus ; therefore I must divide 16,634.88 by 
10.890, which is a Rood. By such division continued in Ihe Decimal way, uniil I have a fraction of 
five or six places, which is exact enough, I find the quote to be l.S27,537,"which assures me that ray 
number 16,634.88 hath but once entirely in it a whole Ko.-xl : but it liaili moreover in it many f>e'- 
cinial parts of a Rood. These therefore 1 reduce lothe Perches contained in them, bv multiplying them 
into 40, which is the number of Perches that make up a Rood: and cutting off six places froin the pro- 
duct, which is 21.101,480; so I find there are 21 Perches entire, and the figures after the Separalrix 
are Decimals of a Perch. These also I multiply by 272.25, which are the square Feet and Decimals 
of a Perch. The product of l.iis last multiplication, after eight places cut off" from it by the Sepaia 
trix, because there ivere six places of Decimals in one of the multipliers, and rwo in the other, is 
27.02,793,000. Hence I learn that there are therein but 27 entire Feet, all the eight Decimal places 
amount to little above half a foot, and tlieiefore I cast them away as inconsiderable in the incisure of 
land. This method of reduction by multiplication of Decimals I find to be easier than the common 
way of reduction by itivision, and therefore 1 propose it to be used by beginners ii. this practice of 
surveying. So I find this court to contain in English measure 1 Rood, 21 Perches, 27 Feet, and little 
more than half a foot squared. But reflecting upon nioses''s measure bv Cubits, and finding them to 
b" precisely 5000 square Cubits, I observed that they were just half 10,000, which I had observed from 
lierudoliish i iiterpr to be the Area oflhe Egyptian Aroura by which their land was as generally meas- 
ured, as ours is by Acres and Hoods. See Herodot. 1. 2. c. 16R. I called also 10 mind a passage in 
Xmaitio ail Egyptian Priest, cited by Josephus in his first book against Apiov, where he affirms, that 
Manetho in his history of the rei^n, wars, and expulsion, of the Pastors (whom Africanxis aflTirms to be 
Pnaoiciaiu, or Canannites, and Josephus vainly lielieved to be Jews,) wrote out of the public Hecunls of 
^^Itp^i tliat tliese Piislors made at Ab/iris a very large and strong eiicampn-.ent, tli:it encoin|)asscd 
10,000 Arimra, su/ticieni to contain 240,000 men, and long to maintain their cattli-. Hence ii appears, 
that not only the i:.-^yptinns, but the Phanidans or Cnnaamtis also, that had dwelt among them, and 
had reigneii there during the time of six kings successively, used this measure of land calleu Aroura. 
Now this was long before Mjses's time-, fiir the beginning of Amosis or Tethmosis, who expelled them 
out of Egypf, « as very near the time of Abraham's <leaili, as appears by trie annals of the lenrne<l 
Primate of Ireland. Wherefore 1 believe Ihat Moses, who was skilled in all Eg-./pti/in learning, espe- 
cially surveying, did of choice make theCimit of the Tabernacle to be just half'an^'Y.io-n. which was 
a known measure to hiinand his people, who had long dwelt in Egypt, and Divine Authority directed 
him so to do. 

of an A-oura !o ^' ^'^'^■'"se we have shewn from Herodotus, that an Aroura is the square of 100 
Eiitrlish men'sio-es. Jewish or Egyptian Culiifs, and 100 such Cubits may in hngUsh Foot measure 
*■ " be expressed by 182.4 iing-feA Feet, it follows, that the sipiare of this number 

will express exactly the number of thefinir^iiA S(iuare Feet that are cont.aincd in an Aroura. Now 
by multiplication of 132.4 inlo itself, 1 tim' the jiroduct to be 33,269.76: TliereI'm-e I conclude that 
there are 33,2e3 «qu,ue Feet entire, and .76 Decimals of a square Fool, in an Aroura. Now to re 
duce these iCjijasA square Feet into Roods, Perches, and the remainder of square Feet, I use the 
melhod used m the liist paragraph , First, I div ide them by 10,890, the square Feet in a Rood ; and tlie 
quole 1 find 3.055.074, 11 at is 8 Ronilr, and .055,074 Decimals of a Rood. Secondly, I mulliply those 
Decimals by 40, which is the number of Perches in a Rood, the product is 2,202,960. Hence I con. 
elude tliere ar» therein fvo Percnes, and .202,960 Decimals of a Percii. Thirdly, I nuiltiply these Last 
Decimals by 272.2,5, which are the square Feet of a Perch. The product is SS.25,586,000, tli.it is 55 
entire square Feet ; the eight places of Decimals ;;mount to little .above 1-4 of a square Foot, there 
fore I reject them as inconsiderable in measure ol land. By all these reductions it is found, that att 
ArouraismI:Hglish measure three Roods, two Perches, £5 1-4 square Feet. Hence It follows also, 
thut It is not well translated by Jugerum, for it is much larger : nor is H well in English called aa

Such linesT suppose for measin*e of inheritances are intimated, Pmlvi Ixxviii. 55. and xvi. b, i^c. 

6' I slrall conclude with an exaniplo ainounlini^ after reductjtm to a number of 
Kitsliifi Acres, which measure we have not yel rearlu'd to. This I take from /^uvih. 
XXXV. 3, 4, 5, verjtes. There iVnsfs describes what measure of land the Levttfs were to be allowed fi>r 
thei: cattle, t^'eir goods, and all their beasts, on the norlli, east, south, and west sides of each of their 
cities. So tiiatthe city was to be in the midst of the inni! belonjiing' to it. This land in our transla- 
tion is calle<l suburbs, because o( its nenriiess to all theirriiies. I3ul we nmst not tlience imag*ine that 
it means hovi^esand streets adjoining; to their cities, in which sense wesonieiiines use the'.vor.l Svd>urbs. 
Kor M'ists plainly tells us tfiey were places for iheii" several sons of cattle i'^ feeil in, such as mi^^ht 
also be orchards o/ gardens fo.- fruits, or perhaps for a little corn, conipreh'-nded in the wortls, thiir 

floods. These *to!ds he limits by 1000 Cubits, which was just a 'piarter oi'an eastern mile, but amounts 
n mere length to 608 yards EngUsli meisure, and therefore exceeds a riuarter of an E-ii\;luih mile by 
168 yards in leoglh. Rut it is certain mat cattle cannot feed upon mere lenj-ih, but this nmst signify 
the side of sonif* su'"face ol land bouniietl liierebv, and we must have two sides of that surface Lfiven, 
before we can rmu me Area, or suriace contai^ea. I'hiirefiyre Mosa, ver. 5, tells us, ih.at on each siile 
of each city they must measure 2000 Cubits, which will doiennine no suriace. unh-ss we understand 
it to mean the two sidesuf a S(piare, bounded on eveiy side by 1000 Cubiis ■, these two sides nmltiplied 
into each other wi!! produce a srjuate that containsjust a million of square Cubiis, and that is a known 



and exact measnreofjust 100 J>-our<t .- and this shews that the 2000 Cubits mentioned ver.5 are tbe two 
sides of that square, whereof the 1000 mentioned ver. 4, is one, ami may be called the root of the square- 
This shews the agieemeiit of the two difterent numbers. The reduction of this million of square Cu- 
bits will be performed by the same method 1 have used before. Therefore, first, I express 1000 Jewish 
Cubits by 1824 Ent;lish I'eet, without any Separatrix, according to the principles owned in Iiecimal 
Arilhinelic: and the sq'iare of that number will be 3,326,976, without a separatrix. Secondly, I di 
vide this number by 43,5TO, which are the square Feet of an Acre,,uid find the quote to be 76.376,359, 
which signify 76 entire Acres, and .376,85^, Decimals of an Acre. Thirdly, to find what Roods are con- 
tained in these Decimals,! mnlliplythem by four, the number of Roods in an Acre, and find the quote 
to be 1.. 507,436, which proves that there is but one Rood in them, and the six figures cut ofl'hy tbe Sep- 
amtrix (because there weresix Decimals in one ofihe multipliers) are all Decimals of a Rood. Fouithly, 
Iheiel'ore, to find what Perchesare in these last Decimals, I multiply tl.em by 40, which is the number 
of I'erches contained in a Rood. The i/roduci is 20.297,440 ; hereby I find there are 20 entire Perches, 
besides Ihe Decimals of a Perch placed alter the Separatrix. Fifthly, to find what square Feet are 
in tliose last Decimals, 1 n>ulliply them by 272.25, which are the square Feet and Decimals in a Percli. 
the ))roduct is 80.07,804, which is 80 5f|uarc F-eet, and all the Decimals not amounting to a square 
Fool, 1 reject as inconsiderable in measure of land. Thus we have found that this and every other 
square on each side of every Lti-iti'cn/ ('i(y, was prescribed to be 76 Acres, 1 Rood, 20 Perches, 80 square 
h'eel in our measure, but was just a million of square cubits in their measure. 

To arid the four squares belonging to one LcvUkai CUy together, the best way will be to take the 
first quote that wr found in Acre inecisure, viz. 76.37r,SS3, and we must multiply it by four, and wa 
shall find, by the method I have used, all the four squares together to amount to 305 Acres, 2 Hoods, 
1 Perch ; we need not take notice of any lesser quantities in this case. We may also by this method 
find the sum of the Acres belonging to all the 48 cities of the Levitf-s, and many other iinprorements 
in this kind of measuring surfaces. Dut I leave them to the industry of others.

JUDEA, PAT.ESTINE, OR THE HOLY LAND. 



PALESTINE is bounded on the north, by Mount Libanus, orLebaron, which separates it from that 
part «<f Syria, anciently called Phoenicia-, on the east by Mount Hermoti, which divides it from 
Ara'oia Deserta ; on the south by Arabia Petrea ; and on the west by the Mediterranean Sea, or sea 
of Syiia. 

This country received the name of Palestine from the Philistines, who dwelt on the sea-coast : it was 
called .Tudea, "from .ludah , and it is termed the Holy Land, being the country h here .lesus Chrisl was 
born, preached his holy doctrines, confirmed them by miracles, and laid down his life for mankind, 
Palestine is about one hundred and "ighty five miles in length, and generally eighly in breadth ; it is 
situated between 31 "'and 33-' 40. north lalilude. 

The climate of Palestine is, duringa great part of the year, very hot. The easterly winds are usu- 
sdly dry, though 'hey are sometimes tempestuous ; and those w hich are westerly, are aiiended with 
rain. The heat here might be expected to be excessive; yel Mount Libanus, from its uncommon 
height, is covered all the winter with snow. 

The first rains as they are called, generally fall about the beginning of November; and the Latter 
rains, in the monlh of April. In the country round Jerusalem, if a modei'ate q'jantily of snow falls in 
the beginning of February, and the brooks soon after ovcilow their banks, it is ihouglit to forebode a 
fruilful year; and the inliabitantsmake rejoicinirsupon this occasion, as Ihe Egyptians do with respect 
to the Nile; this country is seld.>m refreshed with rain during the summer season. 

The rocksof -tudea are, in many pl.aces, covered with a soft chalky siibslauce, in which is enclosed a 
great variety of shells and corals. The greatest part of ibe mountains of Carinel. and those of -leru- 
salem and fietldebem, are overspread with a white chalky stratum. In mount Carmel, are gath-red 
many stones, which, being in the lorin of olives, melons, peaches, and ol' er fruit, are imposed upon 
pilgrims, not only as those fruits petrified, but iis antidotes against sevfial iliseases. 

With respect to the rivers of the counlry, the Jordan, called by the Aralis bceriah, is rot only the 
most considerable, but, next to the Nile, is'the largest, either in ihe Levant or in liarliary. It has its 
source at the bottom of Mount Libanus or Lebanon and is formed from the waters -if two fountains, 
which are about a mile distant from ea-.h other. One of them lies to tbe easi, and is called Jor; ihe 
other, which is exposed to th-; south, is named Dan. The conllnence of ilie i\wi streams is found near 
the ancient city of Cesarea Philippi, which is at present only a village, and calb-ii Ibdine. The river 
takes a course'between Ihe E. and S. an.l afier running seven miles, fall* inio ibe lake Samochon or 
Mathoii, al pies>-iil called H'deipanias, about six miles in lengtu, from iiorili in south, and nnarly four 
in breadth, from easi lowest. Tin- Jordan issues from Ibis lake, and Howsjh|-migh a great plain, pas.s- 
tng under a stime bridge called Jacob's BrUlge, consisling of three arches, well consirucied. The 
river then continues its course as far as the lake of Tiberia.s, rear the aiuiiin cities rfChora/in mid 
Capernaum, where A mixes with its waters. When it issues from this lake, which is about eighieen 
miles in length, anil eight in breiulth, it takes the name of Jordan Major, ilividing Perea from Sama- 
ria, the plains of tbe Moa'.'ites from Jadea, and receiving the waters of the Dibun, the .laicr, the .hi- 
cob, and the Caritli ; after being augmenied by these streams, in a course of sixty-five miles from 
the lake of Tiberias, or sen of Galilee, it ilischarges itself into the Dead Sea. The Jordan, in i he rainy 
ssasons, overflows ils banks, to the distance of more than four miles; and <m account of the inequality 
of the ground, forms two or tliree channels, lis cunenl is extremely rapid, and the water always 
muddy : but when taken from the river, and put into any kind of vessel, it very soon clarifies, and is 
tweet. 

The Dead Sea is a name ol iiiodern dale ; the ancients called it tlie lake of Aspbaltites, the sea of 
Sodom, the Salt Sea, the lake of S'rbon , the Arabs name it P>ahheiei-Lut : that is, tlie sea of Lot. 
It is about fifty miles 'in length, and ten in breadth. The lofty mountains of Ihe country of the Moab- 
Itcs are on the eastern side, and disch irire into it the waters of Anion and the Jaret. On the west 
and south it us bounded by very high mountains also. It is likewise on tlie west that tlie brook Cedron, 
Vtilcb rises at Jertualeiu, empties into this sea. 



We are in formed that this vast lake was covered formerly with Iruit-trees and abundant crops, anfl 
that Irom lite bosom of the eaiih, now buried under its waters, arose the superb cities of So<Iom,Go- 
i nionah, Adniah, Zcboiim, and SPL'or. No jilanLs ofa;iy kind gi'ow in this lake. The lioltom of it is 
I black thick, and frpihl. liraiiches of trees, which fall therein, become petrified in a little lime. The 
1 Dead Sea produces a kind of bitumen, which may be found floating on the surface, like large lumps 
' of earth. This bitumen is a sulphurous sub-Stance, mixed with salt ; it is as brittle as black pitch, is 
: coiiibusrible, and exhales, while bunniig, a strong and penetrating smeli. The ancient Arabs used it 
1 for smearing and embalming their dead, to pr^^serve them from pTishing. The mountains neartliig 

sea jnoduce a kind of black stone, which, when polished, has a beautiful lustre. 
I Acra.or Acre, (now called St. Johnde Acre,., nil which the Arabs, call Accho, or Akka,)is one of the 
' places Irom which tbe Israelites could not expel the ancient Canaanites, and was formerly reckoned 
ainiii-ig the ancient cities of Plueniria. Itis also known by the name ol Ploleniais. The situation is 
advantatieous ; on the north and east, it is encompassed by a fertile plain ; on the west it is washed by 
the Mediierraneaii ; and on the south by a large bay, wliicli extends from the city as far as Mount 
Cannel. It contains little more than a few cottages, and heaps of ruins. The residence of the bashaw 
of the province is at this jilace. 

To the south of Acre, is Sebasta, the ancient Samaria, the capital of the ten tribes after their revolt 
from the house of David. It is seated on a long mount, which rises in a fruitful valley, and is now 
convened into gardens. 

A little farther to the south is Naplosa, the ancient Sycheni, which stands in a narrow valiey, lie 
tv.een Mount Flial on the north, and Geriiim on the south. At a small distance from Naplosa, is Ja 
cob's will, famous for Chrisl's conference with the woman of Samaria. 

Jerusalem is encoinpiussed rvitli liilLs, so that the city seems as if situated in an amphitheatre: thero 
are few remains of the city, as it appeared in Christ's time; the situation being changed ; for Mount 
Sioii, the highest iiart of ancient Ieiu::alem, is almost excluded: while the places adjoining to Moiml 
Calvary, are ne.-.rly in the centre. This city, which is about three miles in circumference, is situated 
on a rockv mountain, on al. sides of which are steep ascents, except toward the noi th. The walls are 
not strong, nor have they any bastions. The city has six gates. There are supposed to be about 
twelve or fourteen thousand inhabitants in Jerusalem. 

Jasa. ibeancieiu Joppa. is th- port where the pilgrims disembark. They generally arrive in No 
veinb'-T ano repair w'i-.hoat delay to Jerusalem. <• r.i. • . 

lie' hlehfin, also called Epiirata, and the city of David, is famous for being the birth-place of Christ 
It is about two miles to the S- E. of Jerusalem, on the rklge of a hill; at present only an inconsid 
erabic place. ... 

itaba, the ancient Jericho, is eighteen miles N. E. of Jerusalem, situated in a plain six or seven 
leagues long, bv three wide, surronnded by a number of barren mountains. 

Haliroun- or ilebron, is twenty-four miles S. of Bethlehem. The Arabs call it El-Kahil the well-be 
loved. It IS situate" at the toot ol an eminence, on which are some remains of an ancient ca-Slie. 

Nazareth, now only a small vill.aee, is on the top of a high hill. 

Cana cf fialilee, otherwise called Cana Minor, celebrated for the miracle wrought by Clirist, 01 
chaiiginff the water into wine, is nothing more than a small village, with vei7 few inhabitants. 

Siiton, called by the Turks Sayd, is situated on the sea-coast. It was anciently a place of great 
strength, and had a ver/ extensive commerce. Though it is still populous,and a place of cor sidcra 
ble trade, it has fallen from its ancient grandeur. Its exports consist in silks, with raw and spun cot- 
ton : the manufacturing of which employs most of the inhabitants, amounting to above five thousand. 
The city is defendi-d by an old ctistle, built in the sea. 

Tvre," called by the Turks Sour, is about twentv miles to the south of Sidon. It was once \irry cele 
bratcd fo' its piirpie, called the Tvrian dye, produced fron a shell-fisl- This city was, in ancient 
times, the cenUe of an immense conimerce and navigation aiul the nurse of arts and sciences. Tlifl

PALESTINE, OR THE HOLY LAND. 



tncient city stood, originally, on an island, joined to the uain land by a mole ; tlie remains of whicli 
appear at present. It has two harbours ; that on tlie north side is very good ; but thcoiher is choked 
up witli ruins. The present inliabitants are OPly sv fe« pom fishermen, who live in vnuUs and caves. 

Cesnrea was at first called Strabo's Tower aiidwasihe capital of Palestine, This city was ilivided 
into two parts by a little hill, wherton was erecLsu a t.-)iiplc deilicated to Cesar. 

Jericho is si'.u'ated in a large plain about twenly miles long, and ten broad, bounded by a variety of 
mountains on the south-west, the west, and north ; it is at present iniiaoited by a few miserable Arabs. 

The Mount of Forty D.iys, is situated on the north siile of the |)lain of Jericiio: the summit is cov- 
ered neithei with shrubs, trees, nor earth, but consists of a solid mass of white maible: it is very diiii- 
cult and dangerous to ascend, the path leading by a winding ..ourse, between two dismal abysses. This 
mountain is one of the highest in the province, and one of its most sacred places. It takes its name 
from the rigorous fast which Christ observed here. From tliis mount may be seen the hills of Arabia, 
the country of Gilead, the country of the Ammonites, the plains of Moab, and that of Jericho, the river 
Jordan, and the whole extent of the Dea<i Sea. Opposite to Jericho, beyond Jordan, rises Mount Nebo. 

Mount Carmel, on the south siile of tlie bay of Acre, projetis at one part into tlie sea, forming a 
great promontory, called the point of Carmel. There area nuraberof grottos, gardens, and convents, 
on this mount ; as also many cisterns for receiving the rain water. Oh tliis mcantain was a fortress 
called Ecbatana. 

Mount Tabor is most delightfully situated, rising amidst the plains of Galilee, distant about twelve 



miles irom the city of Tiberas ; it is dijtingiiished by diflerent names, as Itabyrion, Taimnum, ar.d 
by the Arabs (iiliel-el-Tor. It is in appearance like a sugar-loaf, and is covered from the top to tlie 
bottom with small trees. 

Palestine, which comprehends the ancient country of Canaan, and was occupied by nine tribes u< 
Israel, has eiperienced many and severe revolutions ; the extreme fertility of the country, and its ma- 
ny advantages and happy situation, induced the neighlsouring and powerful kingdoms to atteinjit its 
subjectita : most of them succeded in reducing .o obedic.ice and slavery, the peaceable inhabitants: 
the Pp^siaiis, Saracens, Syrians, and Unmans, l.ave rdiernately been masters, for a time, and then 
obiigetl to yield to superior force : tiiey treated the con<iuered willi the utmost bai'bauty, and com 
mitied the greater t devastation and slaughter ; not even sparing old or young, won len, or helpless cliil- 
drep. Thus itcontintied changing its ferocious masters, un'il, in the iwelfih centuiy, the Turks taking 
Ces.area, the whole couniiy felJ into their possession ; and has continuett under their po^ver ever since : 
Tlie iimumerable scenes of biood and desolation exhibited in this country, havechancred it from that 
happy, fruinu') and luosperous slate, io beautifully descrii.ed in Deuteronomy, toanaiinost uninhabit- 
ed desert, ajid henji of ruins •, few traces of its ancient splendor remain ; and confusion and doubt hang 
over all 'h*^ researches of the iuipiirer. 

The present masters exercise unlimited and tyra«nical authority over their slaves, in Palestine, 
keeping li.e miserab'e inhabitants in the utmost subjection j governing them oy Caliphs and lia.shaws, 
with rods of iron ; tmd holdiug them in the most deplorable ignoraiicc ana superstition
